    Im looking to make a cover for my cd of my demo reel. Not for the case just one that would go on the actual cd so the dimensions would have to be round. I have photoshop and illustrator. Any tutorials or help would be much apreciated. Thanks

    Often when you get cd labels, the company (Neato, for instance) will have a template for the particular label available on their website.

    Create your artwork on another layer and don’t let text or important parts of images get to close to the edge or center hole.

    Cheers,

    Joe

    How many cd’s are you making? If you are making a demo reel that you are sending out or even handing out, and since you haven’t done this before, I suggest paying a professional for this. Since your demo reel is very important and the goal is to get them to actually watch it. There is no shame in paying someone to do this. Unless you plan on making cd’s for people. You might also want to go ahead and make a case for it with a business card and a roledex card as inserts. Just a suggestion.

    If life were a movie, you’d find mine in with the dropped frames.
