Using a 7" I have a measured it to get an good idea for what the actual size will be. Last year when doing secret 7 I decided to go ahead and print it. I didn't exactly measure it properly and there where some issues when it came to putting everything together.
Height: 18.1 cm
Length: 13.3 cm
Inner Sleeve
18cm x 18cm
Center Labeling
8.5cm x 8.5cm
I know exactly what I want to do for the inner sleeve and center labelling, its just getting the photograph which is the main issue. I want to take pictures of the inside of rocks, not any rocks. Some rocks have incredible interiors which look like marbling on paper but much sharper. A friend of mine took some amazing photos in London but I can't exactly get to London. She said to try the Discover Centre in Leeds. So I am going to give them a call tomorrow, not today as they are closed. Hopefully they will have what I am looking for.
Working on Illustrator here is just a quick example of what the outer sleeve for the 7"could look like. I just need to add text to the back and then see what the limited edition could look like. The folds can't be left white as I fear the the white will show slightly. I'll find out the side of the two fold on photoshop and crop the photo to that size.
Considering once printed I will cut the packaging out I can just leave it like this. When it comes to printing I will get rid of the black lines APART for the fold lines. i will also have rulers applied to the page which will make my cut clean and accurate.
The back will be this simple, just the track names for side 1 and 2. PLEASE NOTE this is just for my 7" designs. We are in the process of talking about the cd single, weather to have two cds with just one song or one cd with both.
