Mixtapes on CD from m4as

I used to be part of a group of people that would mail each other mix CDs based on the kind of music they liked.  I sent out three of them (one is listed earlier in this blog.  Here are the other two:

I replaced the 50ft. Woman's head with my friend Sydni's head ( because the CD was for her), recolored it a bit and added texture to make it look more like it was part of the painting.  Then I tried to make the title of the CD look as close to the movie font as I could.

The original poster for "Attack Of The 50ft. Woman".  

I removed all the original text, kept the look of the paper, then added my own text.  The "WJ" simply represents the initials of the person who was getting the CD.

Original WW2 ad for Bell Telephone.

Mixtapes are so 1980s

I'm part of a mix-tape (but most of us make mix CDs) network where we get a new person from a list to make a mix for.  We base it on their musical tastes and hope they enjoy it.  This was my first CD.  I simply broke a cassette, photographed it, blew out the contrast and tweaked the levels a bit.

I thought that I would use this cover for every mix CD that I was to send out, so I wrote out the text, scanned it, then put it on the labels in Photoshop.  I just ended up using this for Ashley though, because designing a 1-panel CD cover every month is kind of fun.  

The tracklist was simple...  I did a screen-cap of the iTunes playlist, figured out what font iTunes used, then put the information for the mix CD where it would normally have the song information at the top of the window.
