Free DVD case & disc Photoshop templates

posted by James Linton on 2009.11.20

It can be a little overwhelming when you first start using a powerful graphics application such as Photoshop. So to give you a helping hand i’ve prepared a Photoshop DVD case outer wrap and a DVD disc template for you to add your own images and text to help you brand and rebrand your products.

Dimensions of the box wrap template are 273mm by 183mm, which should fit into a standard DVD case perfectly, and it is set to 300dpi (dots per inch) which is the optimum for any print based job as it means it will print out looking crisp and sharp. The spine of 14mm is also marked out for you with guides to help you position things correctly. There’s also a DVD logo on the spine to save you the trouble of finding one. The DVD disc template is 118mm square with a 23mm hole in the middle.

One big thing to always bear in mind when using Photoshop is that while it has a almost endless array of features, the reality is you only truly need to concentrate on a handful of simple techniques to achieve over 95% of your tasks. Once you’ve mastered the basics, and know them inside out, you will naturally keep learning how to do more through just using it day to day.

If it’s something that you do want to learn how to use effectively then The Internet Marketer’s Design & Branding Bible is what you need. It covers all the essentials and leaves out everything that’s not important to your online business. When you realise how easy it actually is, I think you’ll be shocked.

Creating professional product images

While we are on the subject of Photoshop, if you want to create mockups of your products that look as realistic as possible, I suggest you take a look at this website: CoverActionPro

There are cheaper products on the market, even some free ones, but if you’re after the ‘Rolls-Royce’ of product simulators this is where I would spend my money.
