Things to know about the BLOG CD



Hello Ladies and gentlemen.

I have news from the print guy who's gonna print our CD's.

He made an offerte for 50 cd's, with print on cover and a print on the cd itself. The cost are gonna be around €130 ex BTW with the €100 we have from Manel is this gonna cost us around €5 eruo's each. But there are some limitations or better said freedoms in domain that we have to think about. In the example above you can see what is possible for the CD. The things that work best are:
• Line drawings
• Outlines
• Stencils
• Text (min 10 pt)
Every thing is done by hand so the press has a kind of fled that makes the detailed drawings a bit fuzzy.
The CD contains 6 sides (incl the tracklist side) where we can put some drawings on. Also the CD (diameter 120 mm) itself we can print, but this is best if we do it in Black because otherwise it takes too much time and money. For the cover of the CD we can use another color (pink, yellow, fluorescent etc. etc) but only one color, this because of the same arguments.
Here you can find a template you can open in Photoshop and already has the dimensions and everything in one layer you can turn on and off. There's also another layer with the background and another layer for your artwork. For the people that don't have Photoshop you can get a JPEG.
So shortened for the Cover:
• One color
• Keep it simple but powerful
• No photo's
• Cover has 6 sides

CD: Template
• Only black
• Keep it simple
• 120 mm diameter

If the print guy can recieve everything around the 26 or 27th of may i can finish it for sure at the presentation.
Knock yourself out.

P.s. I'll try to be there tomorrow.
