Puppy DVD Case sleeve
Puppy DVD Case sleeve
IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE IMAGES THEY ARE BIGGER AND MORE DETAILED
I have created a DVD sleeve (cover) for puppy, i know its not brilliant, but i couldent find one anywhere and am just trying to be helpful, what do you think?
simply place into any office word program and resize to 172mm - 184mm and print
this is the first one i made, i feel the one above looks alot more proffesional:

puppy sleeve
are there any other puppy case arts and why was my poll removed?
Although I do like your case sleeve, I do not like that it has a colored background. That is just a waste of printer ink.
With printer paper available in colors, why not just make the sleeve with a blank/white background and let the person using it decide on the color of printer paper to print it on.
That way, any color background could be obtained just by using a different color of paper.
BTW, nice composition and artwork.
Also, if you have it sized before uploading the png graphic, one could print it with applications that come with Puppy rather than having to rely on MS software.

I would like to print using laserjet printer, black only, and does not look good as is when printed on white paper.
A white background would be much better

library?
you could always print it off at your local library for about 20p for colour
well i was simply trying to be helpful and promote puppy because i couldn't find a case anywhere, and you go ahead and bitch about it, if you dont like it dont print it, but i wil make on with less colour on it but it will take a while as i have alot to do at the moment8-bit wrote:Here in small town USA, the county libraries are closed with the excuse that there are not enough funds to keep them open.
And trying to get a local print shop to put an unknown disk or usb flash to their PC would go across like a lead balloon.
I was not bitching about it as you call it.
I was only making a comment.
Also, I have already loaded the image into Mpaint and Gimp and removed the colored background. So you do not have to bother with that.
My Xerox laser printer handled it just fine.
Also, as I had already stated you did a rally nice job on designing the insert. I just had to dig out one of the large DVD covers to put the printed sleeve insert into.
So again, thank you for your efforts, I appreciate them and I am sure the Puppy community does too!

In Ye Olde Puppy days we did it like so . . .

Your design is more up to date
As a minimalist distro we under use ink
(in fact I don't use a printer at all if I can help it)
. . . and my current DVD cases are round
and I would probably use Lightscribe CD's for Puppy
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 991#334965
many thanks

How about one with CD rather than DVDme7i wrote:Should i make some more puppy linux cases or should i do another distro, if so which distro, opinions please
and Version....................................rather than kernel
I still would like to see one with white background, black lettering, so it could be printed on colored paper for those that do not have color printers, i.e laser jet such as mine.
thanks for your consideration

Have you checked out my mini how to on making a CD insert?
It has two examples and can be found at this location.

An easier way would be to use SVG graphics in Inkscape
as SVG has very good scaling capabilities and thus templates
could be made for the different cases available.
Maybe Gimp also supports SVG but never used Gimp.
Once the wanted picture/s have been added to the "template",
it's a simple matter to export it to pdf (maintaining scale) and
either printing it home/office or emailing it to a print shop.
Most print shops are capable of "duplex" printing, meaning that
they can print on both sides of the paper/card so it's a simple matter
of supplying them the front and back artwork.
BTW, PostScript also supports scaling so the "template" could also be in
that format, just keep in mind that PS uses 72 DPI as a standard whilst
SVG uses 90 DPI.
Here is a SVG example:
http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~pax/DVD_Cov ... 5.31-2.svg
You should be able to view it directly in FireFox, else download it and use Inkscape.
I have attached dimensions I use to make DVD cover artwork.
