DVD Design Ideas

In preparation for the DVD design pitch I have come up with some ideas for possible designs. The first idea I came up with was very simple, but I have rejected this pretty early on because I recognise my idea from somewhere else and I don't intend to press forward with a design that is already out there.











My second idea is to use textures and slightly abstract imagery. An image of a planet sitting at the top of the screen, paint then sprays out the sides and drips down the paper background. The camera then turns sideways and the paint stops, then the menu items appear.











I am not sure about the relevance of my menus, but I also don't know how relevant they have to be. Here is a video preview:
