Physical media is back, baby!<\/p>\n

With all the news of game discs and other physical media following in the footsteps of the dinosaurs, I’ve decided to buck that trend.\u00a0 I’ve made CD jewel case art for my latest game Nova Venus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nova Venus Jewel Cases<\/strong><\/a><\/big><\/p>\n

All you need to make this set is three compact disc jewel cases (preferably the all-transparent type) and some recordable media like DVD-Rs.\u00a0 Download the pdf linked above, and print it out.\u00a0 I had to expand the printable size to 103% to make it fit perfectly, but your printer setup might vary.<\/p>\n

Here’s what those fantastic disc cases look like when printed, cut, and folded into place:<\/p>\n

A rather fine looking set, if I do say so myself.\u00a0 I used ChatGPT to generate most of the artwork for these, which actually just started as a lark.\u00a0 I was curious to see what a CD case cover for Nova Venus would look like, and that turned into a full set of printable CD art to make my own physical editions like this.\u00a0 Here are the images I used, including some screenshots that went into making the back.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
