For Christmas this year I decided to give my wife something a little special. No, it wasn't one of those Lexus with the giant bow on top, but something a little more in keeping with our budget--music. Using iTunes I created 6 custom music mixes for her with some of her favorite songs. It was lots of fun to make the mixes, but when it came time to make the labels I was a little stumped. I wanted to do a collage of the album artwork for the songs on each CD, but none of the regular labeling software gave me the flexibillity I wanted. With a combination of some great, and free, Applescripts, Freehand and Fireworks I was able to create just the kind of labels I wanted. This tutorial shows you how it was done. Sure, it's not web design work, but why not use your software for fun stuff every now and then?
