How to Label CDs With DiscLabel

DiscLabel is a computer program for MAC OS X that creates labels and packaging for CD and DVD discs. You can make a label using the images and tools already included in the software. Alternatively, you can use your own pictures to adorn your discs. This is a nice way to differentiate your plain looking copied discs.

Instructions

1. Download and install DiscLabel on your computer. Click the "Download" link at DiscLabel.com, and then download and install the ClipArt file if you wish.

2. Open DiscLabel and start a new design by choosing "New Design" from the "File" menu. Choose whether you are making a label for a CD or a DVD.

3. Choose a background from the backgrounds available, or upload your own picture to use. Once you get a background you are happy with, you can move on to editing the other parts of the label.

4. Change the text color and the text format to something that you like. Next, select the tracks that you want on the label. You can import track titles from iDVD, iTunes, text files, iPhoto and more. You can also add tracks manually. Change the font type, font size or font color if you want.

5. Add effects or clip art to make the image look completely different. You can change the size of clip art you add. Play with the effects; there many different ones that can really change up the look of your label.

6. Select the media you will be printing onto when you are ready to print your project. You will also have to calibrate your printer to make sure the project prints properly. There are instructions for this in the "Help" section. When you are ready, just click "Print" and enjoy your new CD label.
