Since there have been several discussions about CD covers and cover art, I
wonder if anyone besides myself has developed a particular way of designing
covers for the CDs we make from old records, tapes and other "obsolete"
media.
I didn't start out to do anything special, but seem to have developed
a rather standardized way of making the jewel box inserts. I don't use
pictures, or any of the labeling software that I have, but rely on the old
spreadsheet to create front and back covers. I stick to the basic stuff:
Composer(s), work(s), preformer(s) etc on the front. On the back, I list
the same info, but add movements and track info.
I use a particular font for the composer's name and have double line
borders above and below it. Sometimes I use a yellow marker to highlight
the composer's name. That's about it. On the actual CD, I just write the
info or use a small removable label to identify the disk.
At least when I look at my collection of CDs, I can tell which ones I have
made myself.
One would think that I had better things to do with my time, but evidently
not.
