Hi Everyone, I'm Darshan Hiranandani, I'm working on creating a CD label on StickerYou.com using my own image. I've attached a screenshot of my attempt. I want to position the license plate around the arrowhead below the center circle of the CD. Does anyone have suggestions on how to achieve this? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Something I haven't done for a little while but I used to use a vector graphics package - in my case Serif's DrawPlus, unhappily no longer available - to generate my CD artwork, save the resulting label as a JPG which I then printed initially on a self-adhesive label using  one from the Avery range or direct onto a printable CD. However any vector graphics package should be capable of generating these images, you could try the freeware Inkscape.

 

Printing onto CD's with a printable surface layer gave much more reliable results. Two problems with the adhesive label route - it is very difficult to get the label exactly centred on the disc which creates imbalance in the player and there is always a risk of the label partly coming unstuck and starting to shred in the player which does horrible things to the player !  But to use printable CDs you need a printer which can print onto a CD surface.

There is an article on Attaching Files to Posts On BleepingComputer.

You can also click here to get Inkscape.

Good luck! :)
