More information about the production of this disc
The recording engineer was WIlliam Langdale, and the production was done
by our Musical Director, Andrew Dennis.
All the artwork (CD front and inside cover, back card and on-body print)
was put together in CorelDraw and Corel Photopaint by David Morris. Duplication
and printing was by Fairview Duplication near Hull. Fairview supplied
the templates used for the design. Fairview are one of the few duplication
services that can offer direct on-body printing instead of labelling the
surface which makes for a more profession product in my opinion, but removes
some of the flexibility because you're restricted to mono printing on
the disc.
The ghosted image of the cornet was taken using a Kodak DC280 digital
camera with the cornet sat on our kitchen floor! The resulting image was
then traced using Photopaint to created a masked bitmap which was then
dropped on to the front cover. Transparency was adjusted to get the right
effect, and the colouring adjusted (more cyan introduced) to get rid of
the 'gold' effect from the use of the flash and a less than clean silver
cornet! The fonts used on the disc are Arial and Bank Gothic (a Corel
font).
Although an iterative process, the production of your own artwork is
rewarding, and can save the Band some money in the process.
Using the same themes, we've also produced some full colour A4 and A3
posters advertising the CD which we can display at venues we're playing
at.
