CD Face Template - Wed. Class (if done w/ portrait)


If you are ready to start working on the CD Package Design project, you are going to be doing a lot of brainstorming!

Take computer paper and sketch out many quick ideas before experimenting with the computer. Your design will tell you which program to use! (Photo manipulation = Photoshop, drawing/vectors = Illustrator.)

Once you are certain of your CD personality (who are you making this specifically for?) and you have a favorite quality sketch idea, start in with the 5" CD Face.eps template.

Click on the above link, it will either open in a new tab/window or ask you how you want to open it. (File - Save as - save temporarily onto the desktop, if needed.) Choose either Photoshop or Illustrator. Save!
Only what is in the pink circle will fit onto your CD.
When I get back, I'll explain the cover/back cover/etc.

  1. Can I make a booklet and/or digipak design too? rather than just front back inside and disk?
