Worksheet 5:- Creating a CD Label.
Open MS Publisher and select Publications By Wizard. Select Labels then Compact Disk, then select ‘Compact Disk Case Liner’ in the right window and click Start Wizard.
The wizard appears in the left window. Click Next. The Colour Scheme Wizard appears. Select each scheme to see the changes on the cover of the card. I chose Olive.
3. Click Next to move onto the PERSONAL INFORMATION. Just Click on Finish.
Click once on CD TITLE, it will be selected and type in the name of the CD Title. Select the text and change the size, font type or colour if you wish.
Click once on Performers Name, it will be selected and type in the name of the singer. Again change the size of the font, font type or colour if you wish.
Double click on the clipart to open clipart and change the current clipart. Type in what you are looking for, select the clipart and then select the top icon to insert it. Click on the X to close the Clipart Gallery. Resize and reposition as appropriate.
We will now change the colour of the Clipart to a colour in keeping with the colour scheme. Make sure the clipart is selected, right click on it, select CHANGE PICTURE, then RECLOUR PICTURE. Select the down arrow to see the colours in your colour scheme, and select an appropriate one, or select More Colours/Fill Effects to change completely.
Next we want to make the rectangle on the front cover thicker. Select the rectangle, and right click on it, select LINE/BORDER STYLE, and select a thicker line.
To delete the extra text boxes on the back cover, select each one, right click on it, and select DELETE OBJECT. Repeat for the other text boxes, the logo and the horizontal line.
Draw a TABLE box to fill the area of the bordered back cover. Change the number of rows to suit the number of tracks plus 1 (here 13), and change to 2 columns, and select ‘List 1’ as you Table format. Then select OK.
We need to widen the right hand column for the Titles, and narrow the left hand column for track numbers. More the mouse over the blue bar at the top of the table until you see the adjust symbol. Press LMB and hold, drag to the left and release. To widen the right, select the 3 o clock grip and drag to the right.
Click in the top left cell, type ‘Track Number’, click in the top right cell and type ‘Title’. Move into each cell by clicking LMB in it, or use the cursor keys and type in each track number and title.
Click once on the blue bar over the left hand column to select the complete column and select Centre to centre all the track numbers.
14. Finally save your CD Cover and print it.
Task:- Create covers for cassette boxes, videos or jar covers for homemade jams etc.
