In today’s Psd Premium tutorial by author Mark Mayers we’ll walk you through the process of producing all the elements that go into the making of a professionally produced CD. To start off we’ll use Illustrator to produce a slick, calligraphy-style vector logo, then a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator to create print-ready artwork for a six-page tri-fold cover and lyric booklet as well as a reverse inlay card. Finally, to wrap up the packaging design you’ll create the CD surface print artwork. This tutorial is available exclusively to Premium Members.
