SHOOT CD Cover
|
Make covers for mix CDs |
|
|
|
|
|
A great place to
start is with some of your own snapshots, maybe of the person you're giving
the mix to, and then combine and transform those using Photoshop Elements.
So, gather up some photos, launch Photoshop Elements, and let's get started. |
|
|
|
|
|
Start creating your custom CD cover by
setting up your document size. CD jewel cases measure 4.75 inches by 4.75
inches, so begin by selecting New from the File menu. We're
going to use a standard piece of letter-sized paper for this CD cover, but
set up your work area to be the exact size of the CD case. In the dialog box,
enter 4.75 inches for the width and 4.75 inches for the height.
Then, click once on the Magnifying Glass tool and choose the Print
Size button on the top toolbar. This will display your jewel case design
at the same size it's going to be printed. |
|
|
|
|
|
Since your jewel case cover will be smaller than a sheet of normal printer
paper, you'll need to make outlines to help you cut the finished artwork to
the right size. To do this, make a thin outline to use as a guide. If you're
using a Mac, press Command-A or if you're using a PC press Ctrl-A
to select the whole document. Then from the Edit menu chose Stroke,
and enter "1" in the Width box. Next, under Location click the box
next to Inside. This will create a thin line around the whole document to
help you cut out the CD cover.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click and hold on your picture with the Move tool and drag it
onto your CD cover. You can resize or rotate the image by selecting Free Transform
from the Transform option under the Image menu, or you can turn
it by selecting one of the choices under Rotate from the Image menu.
If you want more than one photo on your cover, just open up more photographs
and move them over the same way you did with your first picture.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now all that's left is to print out your CD cover by selecting Print
from the File menu. Next, cut inside the thin black line around your
jewel case, and slide it inside your CD case. Now you've got yourself a
custom cover to go with your custom CD. |
