CD artwork

So for the past week, Dave has been busy designing the art for the CD. This is actually pretty tedious work, and I am glad I don't have to do it!

When you get a CD manufactured, they give you some pretty exacting measurements that you have to comply with, or they end up having to redo your artwork (for which they will charge you a fortune.) The jewel case has a card that is inserted into the back (the spot where you can read all the songs.) And then there is a card which you pop in the front window.

We've had a lot of back and forth on exactly what information should be on all of these pages. It is fairly challenging to cram a lot of info into such a small place, so we've had to be fairly sparing. Hopefully, we can supplement the packaging here at the blog.

Hopefully I can get Dave's OK to post the art here. I love the theme he's gone with, which is a lot of earthy wood tones.
