homemade mix CD artwork!
Scandanavian War Machine:
i just poorly scrawl the artist and album name on the cd in sharpie(or just "mix" or something). if its a girlie i might make a track list and include some sort of protective case/cover (usually a piece of printer paper folded around the cd and taped shut).
KharBevNor:
Yeah. I might include some decoration with the old cd marker (Write the artist name nice and whatnot) but as for the rest...jeez man, it's a cd. I wouldn't, indeed, don't even roll out all that crap for my girlfriend. It's just a circle of plastic with some music I think she'll like on it. It's going straight from her laptop to her ipod and then getting lost under a pile of clothes and pulp fantasy books in her room. The only cds I ever really tried to decorate much like that were the ones I used to make myself when I only had a CD player. There were twenty-two (I numbered the mix as most of them weren't themed, just my favourite tracks at the time.) and about the last six I found these little cardboard slip-cases, so I wrote out the track-lists on the backs and drew a vaguely appropriate picture on the front. That was really only because it gave me something to do in breaks at school, however. I think all these decorated cd cases are a hipster phenomenon. I feel kinda guilty about some of the ones I've got out of mix swaps here and elsewhere, because someones obviously put some considerable time and effort into them, which I probably only looked at to get the track names, and is now mouldering under a pile of year old Metal Hammer 'Razor' compilations.
Clever design though.
negative creep:
that's a really nice cover there!
i try to put some effort into making covers and stuff for mixed cds. but i lack the equipment to print labels.

Mikendher:
That is awesome!
I always try to make artwork for cds. It makes it that much more personal :-)
CarbonatedWeasel:
I dont know if it is your or Lydia's musical taste (or both of yours), but the songs on that mix are awesome. The art is pretty much awesome too. Everyone loves old school mario type graphics. Everyone. Ever.
