Just would like to share this. I designed DVD cover and label using Photoshop then print with Epson photo printer (If you have a better workflow, please share :) You can read and download the templates in my blog

Very nicely done. Well done packaging designs like this creates a professional impression that adds a great deal to your work.

Are you using Taiyo Yuden WaterShield media? It has a glossy high resolution surface that looks much better than the matte printable media.

Thanks for the nice comment. Yes I'm using the TY high gloss DVD. They make such big difference on the output. Too bad they don't have DVD-DL or BD with this surface type.

wow they look great.

Thanks for sharing! After you create a cover, anyone know how to make a 3d image of it like on his blog without paying $100 for a photoshop script?
