I love to walk through the local music store and look at all of the CD jewel case designs. So, I thought it would be fun to try it out:
Artist/band name: [insert favorit band here]
Album name: [insert album name here]
Specs:
Width: 5.5 inches
Height: 4.5 inches
Anybody interested?

CD label dimensions are roughly, circular with:
inner diameter of 1 5/8"
outer diameter of 4 5/8"
or about 1.5 and 4.5 inches which is about 1.5 all around:
|<—1.5"—>(<–1.5"“–>)<—1.5”—>|
:beam:

Edited first post…
btw Sen - I was just thinking a jewel case. If you guys want we could do the CD itself too…

I’m thinking any progys. No animation though. Tomorrow I can get more exact specs for the sizes, including jewel cases and CDs. I can even whip up some templates.

Oh and length… I suppose a mod could decide that, but I dont think we need much more than say a week.

wicked, count me in! :+) yeah i think that jewel case design would be a better idea…
but, if we were to design the actual cd, then someone should whip up a template so that we can all work off the same base.
:edit: ooooohhh… morse already said that… i feel stupid! :sigh:

Ok, how about the specs I posted above. Give or take a few tenths of an inch.
