Inevitably I would always whip out some music CD that was handy and grab a trust(worth)y ruler (picas, pixels, points and  inches oh my!) and measure out the size of the CD, then go into Illustrator and start laying in my guides, creating my ellipses (it’s a circle, stupid tool) and 10 minutes later I was finally ready to get to work!

Eventually I decided to save my template (wisely) to my always-with-me, never-leaves-my-side USB drive.  So no matter where I am, on which machine I’m on I have it ready to go – which has actually helped once when I was at the park with the ol’ laptop and my friend found me out of nowhere and wanted to talk “New Band Single” and just HAD to see a quick “idea” in the flesh so-to-speak.

Okay, long-winded explanation out of the way – I thought I’d help anyone out who might be in need now or in the future, of a nice, clean Photoshop Template of a CD/DVD – but wait! There’s more! If you act now, we’ll throw in at no extra charge, an Illustrator template too! That’s Two, coun ‘em two templates for the price of one ($0.00 x 2 = $0.00 just in case you missed that)!
