Rush Album Cover Template Sizing
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
All graphics for my new release are finished; I simply need the full-bleed layout dropped into the pressing plant’s PDF template for a standard 12-inch vinyl jacket. The file from the plant must be respected exactly, so the job is mainly accurate placement, scaling and safe-zone checking in Photoshop (or Illustrator if you prefer, as long as the PDF spec stays intact).
Special care is required for two things I must sign off on before we go to press:
• text and titles must remain crisp and within the type safety area
• images and artwork must fill the bleed without losing resolution
Once you have aligned everything, send a low-res proof for a quick legibility check, then supply the final print-ready PDF plus the working PSD/AI file. I’d like to wrap this within 48 hours.
