so I'm finally in a state where I think I can release this to the public... been through some seriously frustrating moments with this project...I already knew that doing screen to print stuff is difficult and that you should always expect to use more time....but this was insane, probably everything that could go wrong did go wrong....the most frustrating thing though is that most of the time it was out of my hands...not my fault. from photoshop adding 0,7 millimeters to printers being busted....aaaarggh and worst of all, working on a shitty mac*head explodes*
anyways on to the show....

I will probably also post some pictures later of the finished printed product when I get hold of a digi-cam...
NOTES!
1) the sleeves are meant to be printed on high quality "Matte Heavyweight"-paper for optimal quality.
the end result didn't quite end up the way I imagined it especially not for the low wall...also the Matte heavy weight paper have a tendency to get "dirty" maybe "Photo paper" is better..but I never got around to test it out and I liked the matte feel and look.
also I haven't had a chance to test out the prints from the jpeg-format since I printed mine directly from illustrator...but hopefully there should be no problems.
2) the cover is meant to be printed on high quality "Photo quality inkjet"-paper for optimal quality.
overall I like the way this ended up, there's a slight colour difference in the prints though... I might rework the soldiers at the bottom depending on how much interest this project generates...the deadline made me hurry them a little :|
the idea was to make two different covers one with the bad guys(choose to make it first since the faceless soldiers is done more quickly...maybe that was a mistake) and one with the good guys in similar composition...we'll see if if people are interested enough to motivate me...got pretty burnt out on this project :|
3) The CDs should be able to be printed on any decent labels. the center might be a little bit off because they were originally meant to be printed directly onto the CDs with a CD-printer, but some idiots busted the printer before I had a chance to use it, so I went regular labels instead...but it's no problem. I find it funny that the thing that took the least time in this project also almost ended up being the thing looking best....maybe it's just because it's on a CD and that shit is cool or something
anyways I hope someone will actually be using these and enjoy 'em.
