i'm just wondering what art software people use for doing the artwork? as in the past i have tried to do some artwork and it just turns out poor! and when i see what people design on here it is just amazing!

also wondering where u get the pics for covers? just search engines?

cause i wouldn't mind giving it a try when i get some time!

Yup, my biggest problem was finding the dimensions for the covers, and spines etc.

Now I just use an old file, as they are all the same size.

have you got nero?the cover designer on there gives you pretty decent results,that o.c.s dvd sleeve was done on there in a few mins(what do you say you can tell).once you get used to that then use photoshop.just save the picture on your pc and drop them in the template on nero.
nero cover designer prints them out the right size or download a program called cover xp which also makes them exact size.

i've got photoshop7,i should say my mates got my copy of photoshop7 if you cant get it in the meantime i'll send you a copy with our next trade

cheers for the help! i'll have a crack at using nero over the weekend and see what i come up with! i've tried with nero before but i never thought that such good artwork can be made with nero! i guess it just needs a bit of time to do them!

what about some of the pics too? where would i find them? cause i have seen some of the artwork on these forums with really good wallpaper and pics and track listing added to them! or is it just a case of looking around?

yeah man! cheers! what does the CRACK mean?

I didnt look at the file but i persume it is a crack to get rid of the demo and make it a full version. But I reckon the serial number will do exactly the same thing

The crack is 500MB though and the demo thing is 150MB.

I think the crack is the whole program which needs to be burnt onto disc first.
