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: ---

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. 🙂 ---

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: ---
