I recently became hooked on making custom CD covers for the bootleg CDs I was collecting from the Dead, Phish and others. The feedback I've gotten has been pretty good, so I'm proud to make these available for your use. All of these covers are free for strictly non-commercial use. I started making these things on a whim, and consequently a bunch of the pics I've used were taken by other folks whose information I failed to collect. So, if you are the individual who is responsible for one or two of these pics, let me know and I'd be more than happy to give you the credit you deserve.
Lately, I've been using CD Totes from the likes of Case Logic and Fellowes. I got sick of not having setlists at the handy like I do with my jewel cases, so I started making little covers that will slip in with the CD...hence the notation "sleeve" below. I've made most of these with an eye towards time and ink conservation. If you find them useful...Let me know.
If you're interested in a trade, my list is at etree.org.

There are several templates for Photoshop and CorelDRAW as well as special CD Cover programs floating around out there. However, I have yet to find any decent templates for Microsoft Publisher (and I hate the wizard the Gates includes), so I created my own. Here is a template for standard jewel cases and this is for quad cases. Both are for Publisher 2000. The standard jewel case allows for two CD covers on three pages. Also, if you need quad cases, the best source that I've found is at IO Products. They're relatively inexpensive and can be bought in small quantities.
Although I like making these thingies, if someone else has already made one I'll save my work for a show that hasn't been done yet. Here are a bunch of places for finding other covers...
