Figure I'll give you guys a heads up on whats going on with my assignment (for those interested)
Poncho was all good about it. used
IMG_0161 on the front "fold" of the DVD insert, much in a similar vein as this cover for
The Hurt LockerI have his image on the lower "panel", black fill in the middle with the films title "Contractors Gambit" (yeah possibly not the greatest title, but was finding it hard to brain storm a decent mercenary themed title the other day), no pic on the top panel, instead opting for a largely plain background, and then some fake Academy Award nonsense with some laurel leaf thing with "Winner of 5 Academy Awards" in the middle of it, to the right of that a outline of which awards were won etc. etc. (thought it was remotely humorous adding it.)
Anywho, Spine of the DVD Cover is what you'd usually expect for a DVD insert, though I just did it plain boring black. Used Citizen Bold font (used for the Black Hawk Down logo FYI) for the films title, DVD Video logo, fake film studio logo (tutor wasn't too keen on me using a real studio, though she let me get away with using a real Distributor, namely Universal Pictures) and then a R18 rating at the bottom (For extreme violence, gore, people getting their limbs kersploded etc. Oh and extreme language... wouldn't be much of a decent war flick otherwise.)
Back needs more work. Largely just plain black in colour, up to about 60 or 70% up the back part of the insert after which I have 3 of my other selected pictures in the following order at the top

Though as Merlin pointed out in a pm
http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc485/sqwerthead1/IMG_0173.jpg might be a better alternative to the other of him kneeling.
Need to tinker around with it more tommorow (deadlines been extended too), so I can mess about with putting in/resizing the film studio logo and the dolby digital, dvd video and universal pictures logo's too.
Credits need to be worked out too, though already have Poncho, Merlin, Eda and Goose listed as the "actors", need to figure out other stuff like Music/Costume/Casting/Production Designer/some of the producer credits/screenplay/director... Director of photography was a no-brainer (pun not intended, and ironically one of the academy awards was for cinematic photography
)
Now if only Adobe InDesign had the ability to save stuff as a jpeg so I could've shown you what I've done so far.

And the change to Yoobee will be due to sponsorship. Yoobee is the new name of Magnum Mac. I would guess they provided a whole heap of hardware at a discounted rate in exchange for their name being used as advertising.
..but seriously look at the pain in those eyes!lol
