It's time to add some stylish text. You can use any font. I used Ben Pioneer. Download it here (rar, 12 Kb). It's easy to install it. Unpack it to any folder, and go to Start-Control Panel-Fonts, and choose File-Install New Font. In the left small window find our font, and unclick Copy fonts to Fonts Folder, that way you can easily uninstall this font in case you don't like it. I'll make my text blue (don't worry, that it doesn't look cool yet):0):

Some useful methods of enhancing workflow and efficiency are shown like using smart objects. The image we are creating will be in the style of some of the Ministry of Sound CD???s.

A few months ago, I wrote a tutorial for Computer Arts Magazine about how I put together the CD Package for the band Hollywood Ave. I wanted to share you the link, since it's now available for free online in PDF form. Which by the way, we're currently looking to do more CD packaging for bands or DVD packaging for filmmakers. Hit us up! Let's work together.
Since my experience was so positive, I decided to write a simple tutorial about designing and printing a CD label in Photoshop and Dymo DiscPainter. This tutorial is about the process of designing a label template for a collection of CDs. Although it is very basic, you should have at least a minimum knowledge of Photoshop layer management and a couple of other tools. This time I will not explain in fully detail the basic functions such as creating new layers, copying and pasting from one file to another, or typing text on the image. That would result in an endless tutorial.
Now find a picture of some sort, this could be a picture of band or a logo, place it over the cd and set the layer mode to linear dodge and opacity to 20%. Also add 2 circles in the middle of your cd, the smallest one being black and the biggest one being white, set the white circles opacity to 20%. You should end up with this.
First of all you need to draw the shape of the cd using the Pen Tool ( ). I didn't use the pen tool when I draw this shape, but this is how I should do it now. Therefore the anchor points seams to be placed in strange places.
7. The last thing we are going to do is to add some Bevel and Emboss to the whole CD. Start by merging all the layerst (except the background layer). Double click on the the layer and add these settings:
This week we are going to look at how to draw a CD in Photoshop 7. We will be using the new opacity options on the layer palette. We will also be using the fade fill command. Not too many people even know about this incredibly useful tool.
Similarly create more shapes according to the topic of your CD ROM. We're creating a CD ROM for Horoscope software so we are placing suns and planets etc. You can also insert images too. Create clipping mask for all shapes.
Now find a decent picture of Lindsay Lohan and put it in the center of your CD Cover. Rotate it a few degrees to match her name and the tape. Place that layer under the tape. You should now have something like this:
Our next step is to edit this preset so that it looks more like a CD, instead of a rainbow. To do that, click on the Gradient image, which will bring up the Gradient Editor. Towards the bottom of the Gradient Editor you'll see some small boxes filled with the colors that make up the gradient. We're going to want to reduce the brightness of the colors that are already in our preset, and introduce a lot more gray. Double click on the small boxes to bring up the color pallet, and then change each color until they are similar to this picture:
