Vinyl People:

A few questions about making albums and album covers.

How does the final design for an album cover get printed
onto the cover?

What are album covers made of?

Is there any online distributors or independant companies
that provide you with a product?

?

The most common method is baby stamps. First you need a
fresh baby- one of phobiazero's works the best. Dip the baby
in ink and stamp it onto your cover.

What are album covers made of?

They used to be made of anal bum covers but now most are
made from really finely shredded watermelon rinds.

Is there any online distributors or independant companies
that provide you with a product?


They exist but none of them are online. The most popular
company that does this is a franchise that sets itself up
offline inside taco bells.

You design the artwork digitally then supply it to the
manufacturer either through email/ftp or just send them a
disc with it on. You have to make sure the artwork is
properly to spec, otherwise many will reject it and charge
you extra. You can also go the other route and silkscreen
the sleeves yourself, if you have the time/equiptment.

What are album covers made of?

Cardboard, of varying thickness depending on whether it is
housing a single or double album.

Is there any online distributors or independant
companies
that provide you with a product?


Yeah, any company which can produce and manufacture records
can do it for you. Normally, you will get your actual
laquers cut at a good mastering house, then supply this to
the manufacture who does everything else.

them
