My X-mas Project (dvd/cd labels)

Well I decided to burn a copy of Full Moon wo Sagashite (not licensed as far as I know, someone should though!) since she always kinda enjoyed anime and would watch stuff on my computer when she was over.

52 Episodes equals approx 14 CD-Rs... and I didn't want to give some blank cheap looking CD-Rs so on to the great project of making them look relatively nice... heh.

I tried to cut down some time buy searching for most of the pictures online but a few pictures were from screenshots I took.

Then the complicated task of cutting and resizing and redrawing parts of the pictures to fit a circle. This step is over simplified but takes the most time, plus the afk subs tend to have that little timer on the side and redrawing to get it out takes a lot of time =/

Then comes the printing.. and the awful task of getting the printer to lineup with the CD stickers. Once that was done, the printing was okay.

So after several hours, my project is finally done =)

Here are the pictures I used =)

Even though I tried to keep everything basic so it'll print out nicer and take less time, the whole thing still took a whole day.

Hopefully she'll enjoy this series =)

Lol, Kaiser, you should go into the bootlegging business Wink

Btw that's a lot of CDs, it might have been easier to use DVD-Rs (you'd need about, uuh... 2?)

Kool those cds look real Razz

. Cds are cheaper than dvds and can be used in dvd players aswell if it plays vcds.

DVDs tend to have issues with capatiblity... CDs on the other hand any computer can read them.

Nice work - but why not dvd's instead of cd's?
