CD Cover Creation

I've gotten a wild bug up my rump to start creating mix CDs for friends lately (and I need to make one for J. Ho very soon!) This is the cover I made for the mix disc created for C's birthday gift.

I'm currently working on both another mix disc, as well as another cover. It's nice to know that art/design can be fun, when you're doing it for yourself, rather than school/work.

PS - I'm not sure why, but parts of this look completely different in the jpg than they do on the original file. The fonts are all goofy - like the stroke on the title being WAY off and the drop-shadow hell!
