A Little Flag-Waving

WasteLandPackHere is my Independence Day CD design for Michael Scherer of Americana Phonics. I called it Americana Phonics Foundations, and it includes the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Gettysburg Address. This great collection of "Democracy's Greatest Hits" has an insert that folds out into a mini-poster of the flag, and a tray card that forms the blue field and stars on the left. Click on the cover art above to download a PDF that includes an insert, tray card, and CD face label.

You can download Michael's wonderful readings in MP3 format by clicking the links in the first paragraph. Use iTunes to convert them to .wav file format before burning the CD. One more thing: You'll need to print to tabloid size paper (11 x 17 inches) for the Old Glory insert. If you're printer won't do that, there's a smaller version on the last page of the PDF.

By the way, if you'd like to help create more CDs to donate to New Orleans Public Libraries, click on my face at the top of the blog and send me an email.
