For our final Photoshop design, we will be creating a VHS box art cover (front and back).

Video Rental Stores were a common business set-up for nearly 40 years. Just about every business centre in had a space where people could rent movies. At one point in Brookswood, there were 3 within throwing distance of each other!

These types of stores offered a unique experience that today’s streaming services don’t have – MovieNight


Before we jump into this build, let’s take a look at what VHS covers look like…VHS_BoxArt_Examples

Let’s also break down the main elements of this design style – Cover_Elements
