Designing CD trays and covers?

[mr.me]

It's time to start the art work on my CD, does anyone know where I can DL a blank template to start on?

Or how to go about this?

I'll be using photoshop to do the designing.

This might help to start with - free Word templates for Avery standard labels and inserts.

I usually just make a 1417x1417 front and a 1783x1388 back. Precisely 300dpi.

So I'd make the cover book pages 1417x1417 and the tray 1783x1388?

Templates are nice cause I know it's gonna fit exactly, like the text on the side.

grab the .psd templates from this site ...

(i used them for the RESONANCE - musicians for asia artwork)

... very easy to use and if you use them in conjunction with the artwork specifications .pdf from that page getting all the text in the right place is dead easy ...

I got an old copy of Acoustica CD Label Maker, i use that, for the layouts, very simple. Wasnt too expensive, but that was a few years back.

Did you have someone else print and press yer CDs?

I guess my question is does it export a format they can use?
