So what have I been doing that I neglect every<\/em> blog I write? Once again, I’ve been indulging in my wannabe package designer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few months back, I bought a cross upgrade to QuarkXpress 7.1. I had an ancient version of PageMaker 6.0 lying around, and I figured I’d leverage it for a switch to Quark. I got it in my head that a layout program such as Quark or Adobe InDesign is a must-have for CD cover design.<\/p>\n

Further research revealed that may not actually be the case. A number of local CD duplication services use templates in Illustrator, and the self-service Disc Makers site<\/a> offers Photoshop templates!<\/p>\n

After reading up about how CD duplication works, I started cleaning up the original Eponymous 4 cover designs with actual industry specs and went on a roll. I own a 10-year-old black-and-white laser printer, so the canned covers I could produce with Acoustica<\/a> were limited. With Quark and Photoshop, I created artwork with a bit more color. (For some, not all.)<\/p>\n

I’m still not graphic designer, but I like having tools that give me options.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t able to print on the reverse side of the front-panel insert, but I went ahead and designed that page as well.<\/p>\n
