<hr />
<div><br />
== Step 1 ==<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, visit this [http://librivox.nl/claim/ page] first.<br /><br />
[[Image:Login.jpg]]<br /><br />
All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed. Here you can make your own claim by adding your forum name to the last column.<br /><br />
Don't make a cover for a project that already has one. We cannot show more than one.<br />
<br />
In this tutorial I’m not going to tell you how to make the design. There are too many different ways to do it, depending on the software you have.<br />
<br />
Finding material for the cover is a bit tricky. We will release your cover in the Public Domain. This means that everything you use should be in the Public Domain too. No restrictions are allowed. Even if the source of the material only asks to be acknowledged, we cannot use it.<br /><br />
You’ll find a list of possible sources for cover art on our [[CD Covers|wiki]]. Sometimes the original e-book (link on the catalog page) already has nice pictures. And of course you can google for pictures. Don’t forget to check the PDness!<br />
<br />
For this tutorial I decided to make a cover for The Woodpeckers, by Fanny Hardy Eckstorm and so I started with making this:<br />
<br />
[[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|600px]]<br />
<br />
The size in this case is 600 by 600 pixels. You’ll need it in a size like this later on, so keep it somewhere safe.<br /><br />
There are a few things to point out here: <br />
* We like to see the LibriVox logo on the front of the cover. It’s available for download from the [[CD Covers|wiki]] in 6 different file formats; <br />
* The size should always be taken in pixels and not in dpi (dots per inch), inches, millimetres, picas or points, feet, yard, miles, centimetres, meters, kilometres or whatever. (In my drawing program I can choose all these and even four more!) The dpi-thing is something completely different and can safely be ignored.<br />
<br />
== Step 2 ==<br />
<br />
From this design we now make three graphics:<br />
<br />
[[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|300px]] [[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|150px]]<br />
<br />
The first one is 300 by 300 pixels and is called woodpeckers_1205.jpg<br /><br />
The second one is also 300 by 300 pixels and is called woodpeckers_1205_itemimage.jpg<br /><br />
The third one is 150 by 150 pixels and is called woodpeckers_1205_thumb.jpg<br /><br />
The format for the filenames is important, because of the way we put the covers in the database.<br /><br />
The first part of the filename is taken from the title of the project. The second part is the date (YYMM).<br />
<br />
Depending on the software you use, there are two ways to make these graphics:<br />
* Resize the picture to the size you want and export it to jpg; <br />
* Export the original picture to jpg, and tell the export dialog what size you want. <br />
<br />
When you check the file sizes you’ll see that the 300 by 300 versions will have a size of 70 to 150 kB and the small one will be between 10 and 60 kB.<br />
<br />
== Step 3 ==<br />
<br />
To make the set complete, we now make a pdf like this:<br />
<br />
[[image:pdf.jpg]]<br />
<br />
The easiest way of doing this is by using a template from the [[CD Covers|wiki]].<br /><br />
In this case I used the word-template, but the open office version is the same.<br /><br />
There are other templates (for slim cases or origami covers). You can choose whatever you fancy. It would be ok to do more than one, but they should all be in the same pdf-file in the end, for we can only catalog one.<br />
<br />
<br />
What to put on the pdf?<br /><br />
On the front you should use the original size cover. The 300 by 300 version is not good enough.<br /><br />
For the back side there are almost no rules. Just explore the many covers we already have and see what others have done. Make something you like! Here are some examples from [http://archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt18/Jill_the_reckless_1206.pdf Phil], [http://archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt18/Milton_Poem_1205.pdf Janette], [http://www.archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt8/Tavern_Knight_1105.pdf Kathryn], [http://archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt18/sylvias_lovers_1206.pdf Annise], [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/fairytales_andersen.pdf Hokuspokus] and [http://www.archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt/nachtwachenbonaventura_1003.pdf Dirk].<br />
<br />
The only two things we need:<br />
* We do need to know where the picture comes from. Remember: the picture should be in the public domain; no restrictions may apply. In the example above, this info is on the fifth line from the bottom. <br />
* You’ll have to state that everything LibriVox does goes into the public domain, including this cover.<br />
<br />
== Step 4 ==<br />
<br />
Now it’s time to save the pdf.<br /><br />
In Open Office and the newest versions of MSWord, you can do that directly from the save as menu item.<br /><br />
In older versions of MSWord and in many other programs, you’ll need a pdf maker.<br /><br />
I use CutePDF Writer (find it on Google) which works as a printer driver.<br /><br />
The filename should be: woodpeckers_1205.pdf<br /><br />
The size of the file can sit between 100 and 600 kB. When you’re far off, you have to adjust the pdf settings.<br />
<br />
== Step 5 ==<br />
<br />
You now have the four files we need:<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205.jpg<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205_itemimage.jpg<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205_thumb.jpg<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205.pdf<br />
<br />
You can send the cover to us now or you can make more covers first.<br /><br />
When you’re ready, put all the files in one zip.<br />
<br />
== Step 6 ==<br />
<br />
Next step is to upload the zip to LibriVox. You can do that the same way as with audio files:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
* Upload your file with the [http://librivox.org/login/uploader LibriVox Uploader].<br /><br />
: [[Image:Login.jpg]]<br />
:(If you have trouble reading the image above, please message an admin) <br />
* You'll need to select the MC, which for this project is: covers<br />
* When your upload is complete, you will receive a link.</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Step 7 ==<br />
<br />
The final step is to go to the forum: [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28785 Volunteers Wanted: Other Projects / New! Volunteer CD Covers! - cont.]<br /><br />
There you post: <br />
* the link provided by the uploader, <br />
* the urls from the projects you made the covers for<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>This page will get you started on making covers for audio and mp3 CDs, and guide you how to thank a volunteer artist for making a cover for your project. To learn how to make the CDs themselves, visit the [[How to Listen]] page. To find blank templates to make your own covers, visit [[Donating LibriVox CDs]] and find the template links at the bottom. We also have a [[Tutorial on making Covers]].<br />
<br />
== Choose a project to make a cover for ==<br />
<br />
Don't make a cover for a project that already has one. We cannot show more than one cover.<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, visit this [http://librivox.nl/claim/ page] first. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Login.jpg]]<br />
<br />
All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed. Here you can make your own claim by adding your forum name to the last column.<br />
<br />
If you are a BC or soloist creating a cover for your project, please try to have the cover ready by cataloging time. You will then only need to add the final running time, which your MC can send you once it has been calculated by the cataloging software.<br />For all covers, we suggest a 3-week deadline for completion as there are other steps (e.g., M4B production) that depend on having a cover. Please don't claim too many covers at the same time and post if you cannot meet the deadline.<br />
<br />
== Quick guide on how to create CD covers ==<br />
# First find some [[#PD Picture Sources|Public Domain pictures]].<br />
# Be creative :)<br />
# Resize your picture to 300x300 pixels and name it: <code>book_title_yymm.jpg</code> (yymm = date) Drop articles.<br />
# Make a copy of this 300x300 picture with the title <code>book_title_yymm_itemimage.jpg</code><br />
# Resize it again to 150x150 pixel and name it: <code>book_title_yymm_thumb.jpg</code><br />
# Convert the file to pdf format and name it <code>book_title_yymm.pdf</code>. For doing that you can use a template. You can find zip-files with templates (Word and Open Office) for normal jewel case, little booklets and Origami paper cases here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesOpenoffice.zip OpenOffice] and here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesWord.zip Word]. They have a suggestion for LibriVox small print. To make the PDF several free utilities are available for Microsoft Windows which might prove useful. An example: [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] which installs as a printer driver. Printing from any application while this printer is selected will create the required PDF file. Some CD Cover Creation programs print each page separately, in this case when it prints the second page be sure to reselect the PDF and chose the option to append to an existing PDF. -->ATTENTION: Please add the source of the picture(s) you used to the PDF. You'll find suggestions of the wording on the examples in the tutorial.<br />
#Put all your files in one zip. (In Windows: select the files, click right, choose Copy To, choose Compressed Folder.) When you have done more than one cover, all files should go into the same zip.<br />
# '''NEW!!!''' Upload your zip file with the LibriVox Uploader <br />

When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread [http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28785 here]:'''Include a link to the book's Librivox catalog page in your post.'''<br />
<br />
If you use only public domain artwork or your own artwork, you can release these designs into the public domain as well and we will upload them to Archive.org. If you choose to use another license for your design, that's okay, but you may need to host them elsewhere. In either case, you can paste a link to your design in the forum thread.<br />
<br />
== Use the logo ==<br />
Although it's not compulsary, we ask you to use the LibriVox logo or name on the cover. Covers are sometimes used outside LibriVox and we do like to tell the world where the cover and the audiobook come from.<br />

== CD cover templates ==<br />
Here are some basic CD cover templates, which can be customized. They can be cut out and folded in half to allow for a basic cover and, when the case is opened, the specific CD contents reveal track information including duration of each track and reader name. These are a basic alternative for those covers not designed yet and for those who may not be able to print out color. Feel free to change them as needed.<br />

== CD Covers ==<br />
You can see all our thousands of covers at [https://archive.org/details/librivoxaudio?sort=-date/ The Librivox Free Audiobook Collection]over at Internet Archive. Sort by Date Published to see most recent covers first. Or, sort by other criteria, such as author's last initial. <br />
<br />
To print an individual cover from the LV catalog, click the '''"Download CD Case Insert"''' link under any thumbnail and open it in the free Adobe Reader. In the printer dialog box, make sure "Fit to page" is NOT selected, then print. On the simple jewel case pattern, cut out the artwork and fold it to fit into the CD case. You may need to do a little extra trimming depending on the make of the CD case. In the case of the multiple CD case designs, follow cut out/folding instructions for either an origami paper CD case or jewel case front and back covers. HINT: Standard copy paper works fine, but heavier weight or glossy paper will make the covers look sharper.<br />

<br />
=== Single CD and double CDs ===<br />
Single CD cases and double CD cases can be found at some music stores, office supply stores or online retailers (see online resources below). Both single and double CD cases come in two widths, the standard jewel box and the space-saving or “slimline.” For slimline cases, you will only need a front cover. For the standard width cases you will need a front cover and a back cover with flaps which wraps around to the spine.<br />
<br />
=== Four and six CD cases ===<br />
These larger cases can usually only be found in at online retailers. Some retailers:<br />
<br />
* In the USA: [http://www.sleevetown.com/ Sleeve Town]<br />
* In the UK: [http://www.windmilldistribution.co.uk/CD-audio-book-packaging-and-accessories.htm Windmill Distribution]<br />
<br />
Typically, the front cover is the same size as the back cover of a standard CD.<br />
<br />
=== Other options ===<br />
Sleeve Town sells a 10 CD booklet with a printable cover. Templates for the designing front, back, and spine are available at their website.<br />
<br />
Plastic CD wallets holding over 10 discs are available at most music stores and office supply stores. These may be customized by directly drawing on them with permanent markers and stencils, or by covering them with printable contact paper.<br />

Volunteer CD Covers'!] forum, or by Private Message.

<hr />
<div>This page will get you started on making covers for audio and mp3 CDs, and guide you how to thank a volunteer artist for making a cover for your project. To learn how to make the CDs themselves, visit the [[How to Listen]] page. To find blank templates to make your own covers, visit [[Donating LibriVox CDs]] and find the template links at the bottom. We also have a [[Tutorial on making Covers]].<br />
<br />
== Choose a project to make a cover for ==<br />
<br />
Don't make a cover for a project that already has one. We cannot show more than one cover.<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, visit this [http://librivox.nl/claim/ page] first. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Login.jpg]]<br />
<br />
All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed. Here you can make your own claim by adding your forum name to the last column.<br />
<br />
If you are a BC or soloist creating a cover for your project, please try to have the cover ready by cataloging time. You will then only need to add the final running time, which your MC can send you once it has been calculated by the cataloging software.<br />For all covers, we suggest a 3-week deadline for completion as there are other steps (e.g., M4B production) that depend on having a cover. Please don't claim too many covers at the same time and post if you cannot meet the deadline.<br />
<br />
== Quick guide on how to create CD covers ==<br />
# First find some [[#PD Picture Sources|Public Domain pictures]].<br />
# Be creative :)<br />
# Resize your picture to 300x300 pixels and name it: <code>book_title_yymm.jpg</code> (yymm = date) Drop articles.<br />
# Resize it again to 150x150 pixel and name it: <code>book_title_yymm_thumb.jpg</code><br />
# Convert the file to pdf format and name it <code>book_title_yymm.pdf</code>. For doing that you can use a template. You can find zip-files with templates (Word and Open Office) for normal jewel case, little booklets and Origami paper cases here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesOpenoffice.zip OpenOffice] and here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesWord.zip Word]. They have a suggestion for LibriVox small print. To make the PDF several free utilities are available for Microsoft Windows which might prove useful. An example: [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] which installs as a printer driver. Printing from any application while this printer is selected will create the required PDF file. Some CD Cover Creation programs print each page separately, in this case when it prints the second page be sure to reselect the PDF and chose the option to append to an existing PDF. -->ATTENTION: Please add the source of the picture(s) you used to the PDF. You'll find suggestions of the wording on the examples in the tutorial.<br />
#Put all your files in one zip. (In Windows: select the files, click right, choose Copy To, choose Compressed Folder.) When you have done more than one cover, all files should go into the same zip.<br />
# '''NEW!!!''' Upload your zip file with the LibriVox Uploader <br />

When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread [http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28785 here]:'''Include a link to the book's Librivox catalog page in your post.'''<br />
<br />
If you use only public domain artwork or your own artwork, you can release these designs into the public domain as well and we will upload them to Archive.org. If you choose to use another license for your design, that's okay, but you may need to host them elsewhere. In either case, you can paste a link to your design in the forum thread.<br />
<br />
== Use the logo ==<br />
Although it's not compulsary, we ask you to use the LibriVox logo or name on the cover. Covers are sometimes used outside LibriVox and we do like to tell the world where the cover and the audiobook come from.<br />

== CD Covers ==<br />
You can see all our thousands of covers at [https://archive.org/details/librivoxaudio?sort=-date/ The Librivox Free Audiobook Collection]over at Internet Archive. Sort by Date Published to see most recent covers first. Or, sort by other criteria, such as author's last initial. <br />
<br />
To print an individual cover from the LV catalog, click the '''"Download CD Case Insert"''' link under any thumbnail and open it in the free Adobe Reader. In the printer dialog box, make sure "Fit to page" is NOT selected, then print. On the simple jewel case pattern, cut out the artwork and fold it to fit into the CD case. You may need to do a little extra trimming depending on the make of the CD case. In the case of the multiple CD case designs, follow cut out/folding instructions for either an origami paper CD case or jewel case front and back covers. HINT: Standard copy paper works fine, but heavier weight or glossy paper will make the covers look sharper.<br />

<br />
=== Single CD and double CDs ===<br />
Single CD cases and double CD cases can be found at some music stores, office supply stores or online retailers (see online resources below). Both single and double CD cases come in two widths, the standard jewel box and the space-saving or “slimline.” For slimline cases, you will only need a front cover. For the standard width cases you will need a front cover and a back cover with flaps which wraps around to the spine.<br />
<br />
=== Four and six CD cases ===<br />
These larger cases can usually only be found in at online retailers. Some retailers:<br />
<br />
* In the USA: [http://www.sleevetown.com/ Sleeve Town]<br />
* In the UK: [http://www.windmilldistribution.co.uk/CD-audio-book-packaging-and-accessories.htm Windmill Distribution]<br />
<br />
Typically, the front cover is the same size as the back cover of a standard CD.<br />
<br />
=== Other options ===<br />
Sleeve Town sells a 10 CD booklet with a printable cover. Templates for the designing front, back, and spine are available at their website.<br />
<br />
Plastic CD wallets holding over 10 discs are available at most music stores and office supply stores. These may be customized by directly drawing on them with permanent markers and stencils, or by covering them with printable contact paper.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page will get you started on making covers for audio and mp3 CDs, and guide you how to thank a volunteer artist for making a cover for your project. To learn how to make the CDs themselves, visit the [[How to Listen]] page. To find blank templates to make your own covers, visit [[Donating LibriVox CDs]] and find the template links at the bottom. We also have a [[Tutorial on making Covers]].<br />
<br />
== Choose a project to make a cover for ==<br />
<br />
Don't make a cover for a project that already has one. We cannot show more than one cover.<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, visit this [http://librivox.nl/claim/ page] first. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Login.jpg]]<br />
<br />
All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed. Here you can make your own claim by adding your forum name to the last column.<br />
<br />
If you are a BC or soloist creating a cover for your project, please try to have the cover ready by cataloging time. You will then only need to add the final running time, which your MC can send you once it has been calculated by the cataloging software.<br />For all covers, we suggest a 3-week deadline for completion as there are other steps (e.g., M4B production) that depend on having a cover. Please don't claim too many covers at the same time and post if you cannot meet the deadline.<br />
<br />
== Quick guide on how to create CD covers ==<br />
# First find some [[#PD Picture Sources|Public Domain pictures]].<br />
# Be creative :)<br />
# Resize your picture to 300x300 pixels and name it: <code>book_title_yymm.jpg</code> (yymm = date) Drop articles.<br />
# Resize it again to 150x150 pixel and name it: <code>book_title_yymm_thumb.jpg</code><br />
# Convert the file to pdf format and name it <code>book_title_yymm.pdf</code>. For doing that you can use a template. You can find zip-files with templates (Word and Open Office) for normal jewel case, little booklets and Origami paper cases here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesOpenoffice.zip OpenOffice] and here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesWord.zip Word]. They have a suggestion for LibriVox small print. To make the PDF several free utilities are available for Microsoft Windows which might prove useful. An example: [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] which installs as a printer driver. Printing from any application while this printer is selected will create the required PDF file. Some CD Cover Creation programs print each page separately, in this case when it prints the second page be sure to reselect the PDF and chose the option to append to an existing PDF. -->ATTENTION: Please add the source of the picture(s) you used to the PDF. You'll find suggestions of the wording on the examples in the tutorial.<br />
#Put all your files in one zip. (In Windows: select the files, click right, choose Copy To, choose Compressed Folder.) When you have done more than one cover, all files should go into the same zip.<br />

<br />
If you use only public domain artwork or your own artwork, you can release these designs into the public domain as well and we will upload them to Archive.org. If you choose to use another license for your design, that's okay, but you may need to host them elsewhere. In either case, you can paste a link to your design in the forum thread.<br />
<br />
== Use the logo ==<br />
Although it's not compulsary, we ask you to use the LibriVox logo or name on the cover. Covers are sometimes used outside LibriVox and we do like to tell the world where the cover and the audiobook come from.<br />

== CD cover templates ==<br />
Here are some basic CD cover templates, which can be customized. They can be cut out and folded in half to allow for a basic cover and, when the case is opened, the specific CD contents reveal track information including duration of each track and reader name. These are a basic alternative for those covers not designed yet and for those who may not be able to print out color. Feel free to change them as needed.<br />

For the standard width cases you will need a front cover and a back cover with flaps which wraps around to the spine.<br />
<br />
=== Four and six CD cases ===<br />
These larger cases can usually only be found in at online retailers. Some retailers:<br />
<br />
* In the USA: [http://www.sleevetown.com/ Sleeve Town]<br />
* In the UK: [http://www.windmilldistribution.co.uk/CD-audio-book-packaging-and-accessories.htm Windmill Distribution]<br />
<br />
Typically, the front cover is the same size as the back cover of a standard CD.<br />
<br />
=== Other options ===<br />
Sleeve Town sells a 10 CD booklet with a printable cover. Templates for the designing front, back, and spine are available at their website.<br />
<br />
Plastic CD wallets holding over 10 discs are available at most music stores and office supply stores. These may be customized by directly drawing on them with permanent markers and stencils, or by covering them with printable contact paper.<br />

== How To Thank A Cover Artist ==<br />
BC's and Soloists may publicly thank the artist who designed the cover for their project by hitting Post Reply in LV's [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28785&start=6120/ 'New! Volunteer CD Covers'!] forum, or by Private Message. To see the thousands of colorful covers LV volunteers have created over the years, visit [https://archive.org/details/librivoxaudio?sort=-date/ The LibriVox Free Audiobook Collection] at Internet Archive. (Sort by "date published" to get most recent covers on top.)</div>Barthttps://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=CD_Covers&diff=30848CD Covers2016-12-27T12:26:54Z<p>Bart: /* Quick guide on how to create CD covers */</p>
<hr />
<div>This page will get you started on making covers for audio and mp3 CDs, and guide you how to thank a volunteer artist for making a cover for your project. To learn how to make the CDs themselves, visit the [[How to Listen]] page. To find blank templates to make your own covers, visit [[Donating LibriVox CDs]] and find the template links at the bottom. We also have a [[Tutorial on making Covers]].<br />
<br />
== Choose a project to make a cover for ==<br />
<br />
Don't make a cover for a project that already has one. We cannot show more than one cover.<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, visit this [http://librivox.nl/claim/ page] first. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Login.jpg]]<br />
<br />
All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed. Here you can make your own claim by adding your forum name to the last column.<br />
<br />
If you are a BC or soloist creating a cover for your project, please try to have the cover ready by cataloging time. You will then only need to add the final running time, which your MC can send you once it has been calculated by the cataloging software.<br />For all covers, we suggest a 3-week deadline for completion as there are other steps (e.g., M4B production) that depend on having a cover. Please don't claim too many covers at the same time and post if you cannot meet the deadline.<br />
<br />
== Quick guide on how to create CD covers ==<br />
# First find some [[#PD Picture Sources|Public Domain pictures]].<br />
# Be creative :)<br />
# Resize your picture to 300x300 pixels and name it: <code>book_title_yymm.jpg</code> (yymm = date) Drop articles.<br />
# Resize it again to 150x150 pixel and name it: <code>book_title_yymm_thumb.jpg</code><br />
# Convert the file to pdf format and name it <code>book_title_yymm.pdf</code>. For doing that you can use a template. You can find zip-files with templates (Word and Open Office) for normal jewel case, little booklets and Origami paper cases here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesOpenoffice.zip OpenOffice] and here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesWord.zip Word]. They have a suggestion for LibriVox small print. To make the PDF several free utilities are available for Microsoft Windows which might prove useful. An example: [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] which installs as a printer driver. Printing from any application while this printer is selected will create the required PDF file. Some CD Cover Creation programs print each page separately, in this case when it prints the second page be sure to reselect the PDF and chose the option to append to an existing PDF. ATTENTION: Please add the source of the picture(s) you used to the PDF. You'll find examples of the right wording on the examples.<br />
#Put all your files in one zip. (In Windows: select the files, click right, choose Copy To, choose Compressed Folder.) When you have done more than one cover, all files should go into the same zip.<br />
# '''NEW!!!''' Upload your zip file with the LibriVox Uploader <br />

When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread [http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28785 here]:'''Include a link to the book's Librivox catalog page in your post.'''<br />
<br />
If you use only public domain artwork or your own artwork, you can release these designs into the public domain as well and we will upload them to Archive.org. If you choose to use another license for your design, that's okay, but you may need to host them elsewhere. In either case, you can paste a link to your design in the forum thread.<br />
<br />
== Use the logo ==<br />
Although it's not compulsary, we ask you to use the LibriVox logo or name on the cover. Covers are sometimes used outside LibriVox and we do like to tell the world where the cover and the audiobook come from.<br />

== CD cover templates ==<br />
Here are some basic CD cover templates, which can be customized. They can be cut out and folded in half to allow for a basic cover and, when the case is opened, the specific CD contents reveal track information including duration of each track and reader name. These are a basic alternative for those covers not designed yet and for those who may not be able to print out color. Feel free to change them as needed.<br />

<br />
To print an individual cover from the LV catalog, click the '''"Download CD Case Insert"''' link under any thumbnail and open it in the free Adobe Reader. In the printer dialog box, make sure "Fit to page" is NOT selected, then print. On the simple jewel case pattern, cut out the artwork and fold it to fit into the CD case. You may need to do a little extra trimming depending on the make of the CD case. In the case of the multiple CD case designs, follow cut out/folding instructions for either an origami paper CD case or jewel case front and back covers. HINT: Standard copy paper works fine, but heavier weight or glossy paper will make the covers look sharper.<br />

== How To Thank A Cover Artist ==<br />
BC's and Soloists may publicly thank the artist who designed the cover for their project by hitting Post Reply in LV's [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28785&start=6120/ 'New! Volunteer CD Covers'!] forum, or by Private Message. To see the thousands of colorful covers LV volunteers have created over the years, visit [https://archive.org/details/librivoxaudio?sort=-date/ The LibriVox Free Audiobook Collection] at Internet Archive.

<hr />
<div>This page will get you started on making covers for audio and mp3 CDs, and guide you how to thank a volunteer artist for making a cover for your project. To learn how to make the CDs themselves, visit the [[How to Listen]] page. To find blank templates to make your own covers, visit [[Donating LibriVox CDs]] and find the template links at the bottom. We also have a [[Tutorial on making Covers]].<br />
<br />
== Choose a project to make a cover for ==<br />
<br />
Don't make a cover for a project that already has one. We cannot show more than one cover.<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, visit this [http://librivox.nl/claim/ page] first. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Login.jpg]]<br />
<br />
All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed. Here you can make your own claim by adding your forum name to the last column.<br />
<br />
If you are a BC or soloist creating a cover for your project, please try to have the cover ready by cataloging time. You will then only need to add the final running time, which your MC can send you once it has been calculated by the cataloging software.<br />For all covers, we suggest a 3-week deadline for completion as there are other steps (e.g., M4B production) that depend on having a cover. Please don't claim too many covers at the same time and post if you cannot meet the deadline.<br />
<br />
== Quick guide on how to create CD covers ==<br />
# First find some [[#PD Picture Sources|Public Domain pictures]].<br />
# Be creative :)<br />
# Resize your picture to 300x300 pixels and name it: <code>book_title_yymm.jpg</code> (yymm = date) Drop articles.<br />
# Resize it again to 150x150 pixel and name it: <code>book_title_yymm_thumb.jpg</code><br />
# Convert the file to pdf format and name it <code>book_title_yymm.pdf</code>. For doing that you can use a template. You can find zip-files with templates (Word and Open Office) for normal jewel case, little booklets and Origami paper cases here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesOpenoffice.zip OpenOffice] and here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesWord.zip Word]. They have a suggestion for LibriVox small print. To make the PDF several free utilities are available for Microsoft Windows which might prove useful. An example: [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] which installs as a printer driver. Printing from any application while this printer is selected will create the required PDF file. Some CD Cover Creation programs print each page separately, in this case when it prints the second page be sure to reselect the PDF and chose the option to append to an existing PDF. <br />
ATTENTION: Please add the source of the picture(s) you used. You'll find examples of the right wording on the examples. <br />
#Put all your files in one zip. (In Windows: select the files, click right, choose Copy To, choose Compressed Folder.) When you have done more than one cover, all files should go into the same zip.<br />
# '''NEW!!!''' Upload your zip file with the LibriVox Uploader <br />

When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread [http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28785 here]:'''Include a link to the book's Librivox catalog page in your post.'''<br />
<br />
If you use only public domain artwork or your own artwork, you can release these designs into the public domain as well and we will upload them to Archive.org. If you choose to use another license for your design, that's okay, but you may need to host them elsewhere. In either case, you can paste a link to your design in the forum thread.<br />
<br />
== Use the logo ==<br />
Although it's not compulsary, we ask you to use the LibriVox logo or name on the cover. Covers are sometimes used outside LibriVox and we do like to tell the world where the cover and the audiobook come from.<br />

== CD cover templates ==<br />
Here are some basic CD cover templates, which can be customized. They can be cut out and folded in half to allow for a basic cover and, when the case is opened, the specific CD contents reveal track information including duration of each track and reader name. These are a basic alternative for those covers not designed yet and for those who may not be able to print out color. Feel free to change them as needed.<br />

You can see all our thousands of covers at [https://archive.org/details/librivoxaudio?sort=-date/ The Librivox Free Audiobook Collection]over at Internet Archive. Sort by Date Published to see most recent covers first. Or, sort by other criteria, such as author's last initial. <br />
<br />
To print an individual cover from the LV catalog, click the '''"Download CD Case Insert"''' link under any thumbnail and open it in the free Adobe Reader. In the printer dialog box, make sure "Fit to page" is NOT selected, then print. On the simple jewel case pattern, cut out the artwork and fold it to fit into the CD case. You may need to do a little extra trimming depending on the make of the CD case. In the case of the multiple CD case designs, follow cut out/folding instructions for either an origami paper CD case or jewel case front and back covers. HINT: Standard copy paper works fine, but heavier weight or glossy paper will make the covers look sharper.<br />
<br />
== CD cases ==<br />
=== Make Your Own CD Cases === <br />
Some LV artists provide artwork you can fold to make your own Origami CD Cases. Here's a NEW tutorial on how to fold them:<br />

<br />
=== Single CD and double CDs ===<br />
Single CD cases and double CD cases can be found at some music stores, office supply stores or online retailers (see online resources below). Both single and double CD cases come in two widths, the standard jewel box and the space-saving or “slimline.” For slimline cases, you will only need a front cover. For the standard width cases you will need a front cover and a back cover with flaps which wraps around to the spine.<br />
<br />
=== Four and six CD cases ===<br />
These larger cases can usually only be found in at online retailers. Some retailers:<br />
<br />
* In the USA: [http://www.sleevetown.com/ Sleeve Town]<br />
* In the UK: [http://www.windmilldistribution.co.uk/CD-audio-book-packaging-and-accessories.htm Windmill Distribution]<br />
<br />
Typically, the front cover is the same size as the back cover of a standard CD.<br />
<br />
=== Other options ===<br />
Sleeve Town sells a 10 CD booklet with a printable cover. Templates for the designing front, back, and spine are available at their website.<br />
<br />
Plastic CD wallets holding over 10 discs are available at most music stores and office supply stores. These may be customized by directly drawing on them with permanent markers and stencils, or by covering them with printable contact paper.<br />

== How To Thank A Cover Artist ==<br />
BC's and Soloists may publicly thank the artist who designed the cover for their project by hitting Post Reply in LV's [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28785&start=6120/ 'New!

To see the thousands of colorful covers LV volunteers have created over the years, visit [https://archive.org/details/librivoxaudio?sort=-date/ The LibriVox Free Audiobook Collection] at Internet Archive. (Sort by "date published" to get most recent covers on top.)</div>Barthttps://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=How_To_Make_M4B_Files&diff=30262How To Make M4B Files2015-03-23T21:48:05Z<p>Bart: /* What is M4B? */</p>
<hr />
<div>==What is M4B?==<br />
<br />
The file extension .M4B defines the file as specific type of audiobook in the same way .MP3 defines a specific type of audio file. An M4B audiobook is very similar to an audio album made of .MP3 files. In fact they rely on the same [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/What_is_ID3 ID3 tags] to identify: Artist (Author), Album title (Book Title), ALbum Image (Book Cover), Track (Chapter), Track Length (Chapter length). The biggest difference is that the M4B will bookmark or remember your place in a file when you stop. The Librivox M4B collection is available from the catalog pages.<br />
Librivox Forum thread for [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28784 Audiobook M4B] discussion<br />
<br />
==How to Make M4B Files== <br />
The basic steps as well as two audiobook building programs "Chapter & Verse" for PC users and "Audiobookbuilder" for MAC users are described on this page.<br />
<br />
Things you will need:<br />
<br />
* the audio files (Usually that means downloading them, unless you were the reader, PL, or BC and already have them on your computer)<br />
* an image for the audiobook cover<br />
* software to combine the audio files and the image into an audiobook<br />
<br />
Things you may need:<br />
<br />
* software to make adjustments to audio files<br />
* software to edit image file<br />
<br />
==Downloading Files==<br />
<br />
You can download the individual mp3 files or the "Zip file of the entire book" from either the Libirvox Catalog project page or corresponding Internet Archive page. The zip file will save you quite a few mouse clicks; you will have to unzip the files after the download completes. Although the 128kb mp3 files provide a little better, most audiobooks use a 64kpbs [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Glossary#Bit_Rate bit rate] (or less) so you don't need to take the extra time downloading the larger 128kb files.<br />
<br />
==Adjustments to Audio Files==<br />
<br />
You may want to edit the audio files that you downloaded. Listening to a sample and/or looking at the file properties can help you decide if adjustments are necessary. Here are the links to the wiki information on two programs you can use to edit the audio files [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Audacity_1-2-3 Audacity] and [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/GarageBand GarageBand]. Here are a few things to consider.<br />
<br />
Volume or background noise - If the volume is too low or there is too much background noise the audiobook may be difficult to hear.<br />
<br />
Librivox Disclaimers & readers - You are not required to remove any of these. The first disclaimer in the audiobook should always be kept. The first time a reader states their name should always be kept. If the project is so big that you need to split in into multiple files, keep at least the first disclaimer and announcement of each reader in each file. <br />
<br />
Listeners may appreciate you removing the disclaimer if there are a lot of short chapters, removing the readers name if it a solo project, removing repeated announcements at the end of the chapter, or trimming off long silences are the end of each file.<br />
<br />
Chapters - In some cases, the audio file will contain multiple short chapters - consider splitting the audio file to match the chapters. In other cases, a large chapter may have been split into multiple audio files - consider combining the audio files to match the chapter.<br />
<br />
==Building the Audiobook==<br />
If you plan to use either "Chapter & Verse" or "Audiobookbuilder" see the separate <br />
sections describing them. The steps are a basic guideline.<br />
<br />
a) convert .mp3 files - the M4B audiobook uses .m4a files for the chapters (.m4a is a specific type of .aac file) so you have to convert the files.<br />
<br />
b) select or create album artwork - If you want to use the image from the Librivox Catalog page, right-click on the "Album Art" link and save the image to your computer; this is the easiest way to select an image. As an alternative, you can make your own image if you want or if there is not one available on the catalog page. In general, images should be square, not larger than 300x300 pixels in size, and saved as either a .jpg or .png file. For an audiobook only one image is required; making a CD Cover is a bit more involved. There is more information on creating artwork and the related software in the [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28785&sid=4c6d5bb5ff2ba230ffff0ac1e29a2c36 Volunteer CD Covers! forum thread] and on the [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/CD_Covers CD Covers Wiki page].<br />
<br />
If you can't find a picture you like for your book's cover art you can use this template: [[image:Template.jpg|300px|thumb|center|Just save this image to your computer and in an image editor add the book's title and author.]] <br />
<br />
c) Audiobook file size - Listeners have reported problems with downloading or playing audiobooks that are "too big". Consider splitting files longer than 220mb (8 hours at 64kb) into smaller sections as a rough guideline. You could use a 32kb setting to get a file about half that size for the same time duration.<br />
<br />
==Sharing your work==<br />
<br />
If you are interested in, or have created, an audiobook please let it be known [http://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28784 here]. Just post a message containing a link to the LibriVox catalog page for that particular book and a link to your file and link to the picture file you used as a cover would be nice too. You can upload the M4B file somewhere such as [http://www.mediafire.com/ MediaFire.com] or at [http://www.archive.org Archive.org] as a test file. Here is a small template for that post.<br />
<br />
Librivox Catalog Page: <br />
M4B file location: <br />
Image file location: <br />
<br />
==M4B Collection and Author Surname list==<br />
<br />
Existing LibriVox M4B audiobooks can be found [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/M4B_Catalog here] organized by book title. You may find it easier to use the text only list in Author's name order [http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/AuthorsA-Z Authors A-Z].<br />
<br />
==Chapter & Verse for PC users==<br />
<br />
You will need to download both [http://lodensoftware.com/chapter-and-verse/ Chapter and Verse] and [http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ Itunes] - both are free. Chapter & Verse uses iTunes for file conversion and merging the files into an audiobook. <br />
<br />
1) Open Chapter & Verse<br />
<br />
[[image:CV_main.jpg|center|main window]]<br />
<br />
This is the main "Chapter & Verse" window. As you build the audiobook you should work through the 3 main tabs (Input Files, Chapters, Metadata) from left to right. If this is your first time, you should take a few minutes with the settings before you start converting any audio files. To get to the Options/settings window select "Tools" then "options" or click on the little gear-shaped "Options" icon.<br />
<br />
2) Options and Settings<br />
<br />
These images show some suggested settings followed by a short explanation. Once you understand what the settings do, feel free to experiment and set them to meet your needs.<br />
<br />
[[image:CV_prog.jpg|center|Program Settings]]<br />
<br />
"Use Last Directory Accessed" is set to use the same directory this time that it used last time. You could specify a specific location if you want.<br />
<br />
You can set the first three "Startup and Warnings" on or off. <br />
<br />
Turn off the final one "Show Audiobook Duration Warning", unless you only want to make <br />
very small audiobooks. The warning will pop up frequently if you make<br />
medium or large audiobooks and can become annoying.<br />
<br />
Default Sort files is set to "Ascending" so to get the files in named order: filechap1, filechap2, filechap3... <br />
<br />
Fix Timescale Issues is set to "ask Before" to be able to look at the problem <br />
before the program fixes it; this rarely comes up as an issue.<br />
<br />
Add Audiobook to iTunes is set to "add Automatically" because to create have a copy of each audiobook. This setting does not effect the audiobook, it just takes a few seconds to make a copy in your iTunes library.<br />
<br />
[[image:CV_conv.jpg|center|Conversion Settings]]<br />
<br />
To keep things together, turn on "Place Converted Files.....". You can specify another location if you like.<br />
<br />
The AAC encoder settings are both critical and confusing. The settings you see will make a 64kbps mono audiobook. Here is what first confused me, the 128kb setting - this is the Stereo rate - when you select Mono for channels you will only get half of that. Using a 64kbps Stereo bit rate and mono channels will give you a 32kbps audiobook.<br />
<br />
[[image:CV_chap1.jpg|center|Chapter Settings]]<br />
<br />
These settings control the information that automatically fills the "Chapters" tab in the main Chapter & Verse window. Use <Metadata Title" to pull the information for the chapter titles from the ID3 tags; the Interval is set to "Chapter" so if will pull the ID3 tag information with each new input file. The other settings for "Interval" and "Move" are set to very large values so that they should not activate.<br />
<br />
Do not use chapter images so the settings are not important; if you use chapter images Chapter & Verse will create a movie or .M4A file instead of a .M4B file.<br />
<br />
[[image:CV_meta1.jpg|center|Metadata Settings]]<br />
<br />
These settings control the information that automatically fills the "Metadata" tab in the main Chapter & Verse window.<br />
<br />
"Automatically Extract ...from First Input File" is set so that the Artist, Album, etc. will fill in with the ID3 tags from the first chapter. If you turn off the "auto-fill" option, you will have to fill all of fields in the Metadata tab yourself. With it set to "auto-fill" you should just have to edit the title.<br />
<br />
"resize Artwork Automatically" and "300" pixels are set in case the artwork was larger than 300x300 pixels in size. <br />
<br />
3) Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder that contains the audio files you downloaded<br />
<br />
Select the audio files in Windows Explorer and drag them to "Chapter & Verse", please re-read information about audiobook size above.<br />
<br />
An "Audio Encoding Error Summary" window will pop up unless you have already converted the audio files to AAC. For .MP3 files this is an error screen you want to see. If you want to check or change your options/setting there is a button for that, otherwise select "Yes - Convert" to use the settings you have already selected.<br />
<br />
"Chapter & Verse" will now startup iTunes to help converting the .MP3 files. There is a status bar at the bottom of the "Chapter & Verse" window and at the top of the iTunes window to track your progress. When the conversion is done, you should have information in all 3 main tabs (Input Files, Chapters, and Metadata). <br />
<br />
The Input tab should show your files have been converted to .M4A files (.M4A is a type of .AAC file). <br />
<br />
The Chapters tab should show the start time and title for each chapter. If you see a red-colored "!", the chapter names are duplicates. These are the names that will appear in the chapter list of the final audiobook, click on them and edit as needed.<br />
<br />
The title of the first chapter automatically fills in the Title field; you will want to edit this as: a) the tile of the first chapter is rarely the same as the title of the book, <br />
and b) this will become the file name of the audiobook when it saves. Remove any punctuation and unnecessary words (A, An, The, of) in your file name.<br />
<br />
Click "Select Artwork" and find the artwork you saved or created.<br />
<br />
Check that the image of you art shows up in the upper-right and that your Title, Author, and Album are correct.<br />
<br />
Then hit the "Build Audiobook" button and confirm/select your save directory.<br />
<br />
When the audiobook build is done being you will have a M4B file ready to upload.<br />
<br />
==Audiobookbuilder for MAC users==<br />
<br />
You can buy a program called [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/audiobookbuilder.html Audiobook Builder].

<br />
Deze gids is gemaakt om beginnende vrijwilligers op weg te helpen met het opnameproces. Wij gaan ervan uit dat technische kennis onder de vrijwilligers varieert, dus we hebben geprobeerd om deze gids zo duidelijk en volledig mogelijk te maken. Vervolgpagina's zijn altijd Engelstalig.<br />
<br />
== De voorbereiding ==<br />
Alle communicatie vindt plaats op ons internationale forum. De voertaal is Engels, maar als je dat wilt, kun je ook gewoon Nederlands schrijven. Zet dan wel [DUTCH] aan het begin van de onderwerpregel.<br />
Als eerste ga je naar ons [https://forum.librivox.org/ forum] om je aan te melden. Kies een leuke inlognaam, maar bedenk dat die naam later niet meer kan worden veranderd. <br />
<br />
Nu gaat het echt beginnen:<br />
Om opnames te kunnen maken, heb je een microfoon en audiosoftware nodig. Bij onze vrijwilligers is de meest gebruikelijke combinatie een digitale (USB) microfoon, aangesloten op een computer en het gratis audioprogramma Audacity. <br />
<br />
=== Hardware ===<br />
: <i>Meer informatie op de Engelstalige pagina: [[User-Recommended Equipment]]</i><br />
<br />
Om op te nemen heb je een computer nodig en een opnameapparaat. Dat kan zijn een microfoon die je rechtstreeks op de computer aansluit, of een apart digitaal opnameapparaat.<br />
<br />
# <b>Microfoons</b>: Een microfoon kan analoog of digitaal zijn. Een analoge microfoon wordt aangesloten op de geluidskaart van de computer (de roze ronde aansluiting). Omdat gebruik wordt gemaakt van de geluidskaart, zal deze dus invloed hebben op de opname kwaliteit. Een digitale microfoon wordt aangesloten op een USB-poort (platte aansluiting). Omdat de geluidskaart niet wordt gebruikt voor de opname zal de kwaliteit beter zijn. Zowel bij de analoge als bij de digitale microfoons zijn er twee typen:<br />
## '''Desktop microfoon''': Deze staat los op je bureau. De goedkoopste microfoon die op grote schaal wordt gebruikt op LibriVox is de Logitech USB Desktop microfoon (PN 980186-0403). Deze kost ongeveer 30 Euro, een heel goede prijs-prestatieverhouding. Naar onze mening is dit de beste ‘eerste’ microfoon die je kunt kopen. Later kun je altijd nog upgraden naar bijvoorbeeld een Samson microfoon (Q1U voor 50 Euro of C01U voor 80 Euro). Samson-microfoons staan erom bekend dat ze een wat rijker geluid geven.<br />
## '''Headset microfoon''': Deze zit dus vast aan je koptelefoon, waardoor de afstand van je mond tot de microfoon altijd dezelfde is. De meest gebruikte headset microfoons bij LibriVox komen ook van Logitech. De modellen volgen elkaar snel op. De prijs ligt meetal tussen de 50 en 80 Euro. De kwaliteit is echter minder goed als bij de goedkopere desktop microfoon. <br />
# <b>Digitale opnameapparaten</b>: Dit is een apparaat waarmee in het apparaat zelf geluidsopnamen worden gemaakt en opgeslagen. Deze opnamen worden vervolgens overgezet naar de computer waar de opname kan worden nabewerkt. Let bij de aanschaf op dat het opnameapparaat een bestandtype ondersteunt dat door de software kan worden bewerkt. Let er ook op dat het apparaat een redelijke geluidskwaliteit heeft.<br />
<br />
=== Software ===<br />
:<i>Meer informatie op de Engelstalige pagina: [[Audacity 1-2-3]]</i><br />
<br />
<div class="note"><br />
<b>Veel mensen zijn bang dat ze niet technisch genoeg zijn om goede opnames te maken, maar dat hoeft echt niet: anders zouden er niet zoveel mensen zijn die bij LibriVox werken. De meeste vrijwilligers hebben geen enkele technische achtergrond.</b><br />
<br />
De meeste vrijwilligers bij LibriVox gebruiken [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity]. Als je hulp nodig hebt bij de installatie van Audacity, kun je [[Audacity 1-2-3]] raadplegen<br />
<br />
Sommige vrijwilligers gebruiken [[GarageBand]], of Wavepad. Zie [[Software We Use]] voor meer adviezen en tips over de software die je misschien al hebt.<br />
<br />
Er zijn nog meer mogelijkheden, maar in deze gids beperken we ons tot de meest gebruikelijke (en directe) methode: opnemen op de computer, bewerken van de opname en verzenden van de bestanden via Internet.<br />
<br />
== Testopname ==<br />
:<i>Meer informatie op de Engelstalige pagina: [[1-Minute Test]]</i><br />
<br />
Voordat je je eerste echte opname gaat maken, adviseren we je een testopname te maken en deze te plaatsen op het forum [http://librivox.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=21 Listeners & Editors wanted]. Daar krijg je opbouwende kritiek van een van onze vrijwilligers. Als je het onderwerp van je inzending begint met [DUTCH], krijg je je antwoord in het Nederlands. Op de pagina [[1-Minute Test]] staat een Engelstalige tekst die je voor de test kunt gebruiken. Als je in het Nederlands wilt werken, kies dan zelf een stukje tekst. Zorg wel dat er woorden inzitten met een P.<br />
<br />
Maar voor dat je je testopname maakt: lees eerst deze pagina verder af. Er staan veel aanwijzingen in die ook voor je testopname van belang kunnen zijn.<br />
<br />
[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J83ZLPb4Xu8]] Hier is de korte Engelstalige video "How To Upload Your 1-Minute Test" met een uitleg hoe je de testopname instuurt.<br />
<br />
== Inschrijven ==<br />
: ''Aanvullende informatie op de Engelstalige pagina: [[Forum Guide]]''<br />
Als je testopname is goedgekeurd [OK], is het tijd voor je eerste opname voor LibriVox.<br />
# '''Lees de sub-fora''' in de afdeling "Books (Volunteer for Reading & Other Things)" om een project te vinden dat je leuk vindt. Er zijn vele tientallen groepsprojecten die open staan voor deelname op elk moment van de dag of nacht en in vele talen.<br />
## [http://librivox.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=19 Readers Wanted: Short Works and Poetry]: In dit forum vind je verzamelingen gedichten, korte verhalen, of non-fictie onderwerpen. De korte verhalen zijn vaak gegroepeerd per genre: Short Mystery Collection, Short Ghost Story Collection, Short Non-Fiction Collection en veel veel meer. Voor de meeste verzamelingen mag je zelf kiezen wat je inspreekt. <br />
## [http://librivox.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=2 Readers Wanted: Books]: Hier worden volledige boeken opgenomen door meerdere voorlezers. Je kunt er één of meerdere hoofdstukken bijdragen. <br />
## [http://librivox.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=27 Readers Wanted: Dramatic Works]: Toneelstukken of gedramatiseerde boeken staan hier. Je kunt een rol claimen. <br />
## [http://librivox.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=60 Readers Wanted: Languages other than English ]: Alle Nederlandstalige projecten waar je aan kunt bijdragen staan hier. Ze beginnen in de titel steeds met [DUTCH].<br />
# Als je een project gekozen hebt, lees dan eerst nauwkeurig het eerste bericht. Hier staat alle informatie die van belang is. Hier staat ook de lijst met beschikbare hoofdstukken (in het Magic Window, MW).<br />
# Klik op '''"Post Reply"''' linksboven op het scherm. Hiermee voeg je een bericht toe aan het forum (de draad). Laat een bericht achter waarin je aangeeft welke bijdrage je wilt leveren. Controleer het forum later om te kijken naar het antwoord van de boekcoördinator. <br />
<br />
<div class="note">'''Opgelet!''': Zet geen informatie in de onderwerpregel van het bericht. Deze regel wordt nooit gelezen en de boekcoördinator zal je bericht niet begrijpen.</div><br />
<br />
Voor veel verzamelingen van korte werken hoef je niet vooraf te claimen. Volg de instructies van het eerste bericht op en kies je eigen bijdrage. Let er wel op dat je bijdrage vrij is van auteursrechten!<br />
<br />
== Opnemen ==<br />
<br />
=== Controleer de opstelling/instellingen ===<br />
<br />
Voor je begint met opnemen vragen we je (a.u.b.) om even de tijd te nemen om alles te controleren.<br />
<b>Computers willen nogal eens terugvallen in de standaardinstellingen en microfoons kunnen makkelijk verschuiven.</b> Zet alles terug naar de meest ideale instellingen (perfectie wordt niet verwacht). <br />
<br />
# Sluit de microfoon aan vóór je de software start.<br />
# Start de opnamesoftware.<br />
# Controleer de opnamesterkte en de microfoonkeuze.<br />
# Controleer nogmaals je [[Audacity_1-2-3#configure|instellingen]]<br />
# Neem een kort stukje tekst op.<br />
# Controleer de opnamegrafiek:<br />
## Is die smal? Verhoog het opnamevolume of ga dichter bij de microfoon zitten.<br />
## Raakt de grafiek de boven en onderkant? Dit heet clipping, de opname is te hard en is daardoor vervormd. Verlaag het opnamevolume of vergroot de afstand tot de microfoon.<br />
# Luister naar je opname (het beste met een koptelefoon):<br />
## Hoor je plops? Schuif je microfoon een beetje terzijde uit de directe luchtstroom van je mond.<br />
<br />
=== Bereid je tekst voor === <br />
<br />
We raden je aan om de tekst te downloaden op je computer met de link die in het eerste bericht van het project staat. Dan kun je zelf nog informatie aan die tekst toevoegen. Bijvoorbeeld:<br />
<br />
* Intros/outros: zoals ze in het project zijn aangegeven.<br />
* Persoonlijke aantekeningen, bijvoorbeeld over de uitspraak van sommige woorden,<br />
* De ID3-tag voor de opname<br />
* De bestandsnaam van de opname.<br />
* Waar moet de tekst naartoe worden gestuurd.<br />
Alle informatie staat in het eerste bericht van het project. Als er iets niet duidelijk is, vraag er dan naar in het forum.<br />
<br />
We maken vaak gebruik van teksten van Gutenberg. Er is nu een programma waarmee deze teksten netjes kunnen worden vormgegeven: [http://www.sandroid.org/GutenMark/ Guten Mark]<br />
<br />
=== Maak de opname ===<br />
Zet een glas warm water of kruidenthee klaar en: veel plezier! (en bedankt dat je voor LibriVox wilt opnemen!)<br />
Als je bovenstaande stappen gezet hebt, heb je alles wat je nodig hebt.<br />
<br />
* Vergeet niet om <b>tussentijds op te slaan</b>. Het is heel beroerd om een opname kwijt te raken als je bijna op het eind bent, omdat de software vastloopt (wat kan gebeuren als het interne geheugen van de computer is volgelopen).<br />
<br />
* Belangrijk: <b>Lees alleen de officiële tekst</b>. Andere edities kunnen nog auteursrechten hebben. Van de versie zoals deze is aangegeven in het eerste bericht, weten we zeker dat het klopt.<br />
<br />
* Ook belangrijk: <b>Laat niets weg, verander niets en voeg niets toe aan de tekst</b>. Bijvoorbeeld: soms komen er in een tekst vloeken voor. Misschien vind je het helemaal niet leuk om die voor te lezen. Toch lezen wij die gewoon voor! Bedenk dat jij niet degene bent die die vloek daar geplaatst heeft. Dat deed de schrijver. En wil je het echt niet doen? Geef dan de tekst terug en kies iets anders om op te nemen. Daar hebben we alle begrip voor!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="tip"><b> TIPS</b>: Er zijn een paar dingen die je kunt doen om later het bewerken makkelijker te maken.<br />
<br />
# Als je een fout maakt, tik dan drie keer tegen de microfoon of zeg heel hard "fout". Zeg daarna de hele zin opnieuw. Dat tikken kun je in de geluidsgrafiek zien en daarmee vind je makkelijk het punt terug waar de fout gemaakt is.<br />
# Maak steeds eerst een korte proefopname om het opnamevolume te checken. Je kunt het volume later wel digitaal verhogen, maar dan vergroot je ook het volume van de achtergrondruis.<br />
# Laat de opname doorlopen, zet hem nooit tussentijds stil, ook als je even wegloopt. Daarmee maak je één lange opname en vermijd je verschil in opnamekwaliteit. Vaak kunnen luisteraars een opnamepauze horen.</div><br />
<br />
Wil je nog meer tips om je opname beter te maken? Lees dan deze Engelstalige pagina: [[Improve Your Recording]].<br />
<br />
== Bewerken ==<br />
:<i>Meer informatie op de Engelstalige pagina's: [[Audio Processing Concepts]] en [[Editing Audio]]</i><br />
: ''Kijk ook bij [[Audacity Tutorials]] en [[Audacity FAQ]] voor instructies voor geluidsbewerking.''<br />
<br />
Je zult ongetwijfeld fouten maken. Tijdens het opnemen hoef je je daarover echter niet druk te maken, want ze kunnen makkelijk verwijderd worden bij het nabewerken. Je kunt ook het volume wijzigen en achtergrondruis verwijderen.<br />
<br />
* <b>[[Editing Audio]]</b>: Hiermee verwijder je fouten en lange pauzes.<br />
* <b>[[Audio Processing Concepts | Audio Processing]]</b>: Hier worden filters en andere effecten beschreven. Hiermee verander je de wijze waarop de opname klinkt. <b> ''Advies: Bij je testopname kun je het beste een onbewerkte opname insturen. De medewerker die je inzending beluistert kan dan beter beoordelen hoe je opnamesituatie is. Daarmee kan advies gegeven worden over het gebruik van de filters en effecten''.</b><br /> Waar kun je op letten:<br />
** Zit er ruis in de achtergrond? [[Noise Cleaning| Clean up the background noise]]. <br />
** Is de opname hard genoeg? [[Amplifying| Amplify]].<br />
** Is de geluidsopname overal even sterk? [[Levelling | Level your recording to even out the volume]].<br />
<br />
De meeste insprekers bewerken hun eigen opnamen. Het grote voordeel is (behalve natuurlijk dat je een gecorrigeerde opname krijgt) dat hoe meer je opneemt en bewerkt, hoe meer je (bijna onbewust) je leesstijl en je opnametechniek verbetert. Hierdoor wordt het opnemen voor LibriVox steeds leuker.<br />
<br />
* Lees ook de [http://www.guidesandtutorials.com/audacity-tutorial.html Audacity Tutorial] met veel standaardinformatie over geluidsbewerking met Audacity, het gratis opname- en bewerkingsprogramma dat het meest wordt gebruikt door onze vrijwilligers.<br />
<br />
== Bestand opslaan als MP3 ==<br />
:''Meer informatie op de Engelstalige pagina: [[How to Add or Edit ID3 Tags]]''<br />
<br />
Als je tevreden bent met je opname, is het tijd om het te exporteren, dat wil zeggen opslaan als MP3. Om dit te doen in Audacity moet je de [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3 LAME plugin] hebben geïnstalleerd. <br />
<br />
Als MP3 opslaan doe je zo:<br />
<br />
# Ga naar <b>Bestand > Exporteren...</b> Een nieuw venster zal worden geopend.<br />
# Kies de plaats waar je het MP3-bestand wilt opslaan.<br />
# Type de bestandsnaam in. Let er goed op dat je de instructies in het eerste bericht precies opvolgt. Gebruik <b>alleen kleine letters</b> en gebruik <b>geen spaties</b> in de bestandsnaam.<br />
# Als je Audacity 1.3 gebruikt, click dan nu op <b>Opties...</b> en zorg dat de juiste instellingen zijn geselecteerd: <br> - Bitrate Modus: Constant <br> - Kwaliteit: 128 kbps<br />
# Kies <b>Opslaan</b><br />
# Een nieuw venster wordt geopend, zodat je de gegevens van de ID3-tag kunt invullen. [[How to Add or Edit ID3 Tags|Put in the ID3 tags]]. <b>Let op</b>: In sommige versies van Audacity krijg je dit invulscherm niet. In dat geval kun je in <b>Bewerken > Voorkeuren</b> aangeven dat je dit scherm wel wilt zien door een vinkje te zetten bij <b>Toon bij exporteren eerst de Metadata-editor</b>. Ook kun je ervoor kiezen om de data in te vullen via <b>Bestand > Metadata-editor openen...</b><br />
## Vul de informatie in op de verplichte regels: Naam artiest (hier vullen wij de schrijver in), Songtitel (hoofdstuktitel) en Album (de naam van het boek). Doe dit precies zoals aangegeven in het eerste bericht van het project.<br />
## Je mag toevoegen "Opname door (jouw naam)" in het veld Opmerkingen.<br />
## Kies <b>OK</b>. <br />
Audacity zal dan je bestand opslaan. Dat kan even duren.<br />
<br />
== Uploaden ==<br />
:<i>Meer informatie op de Engelstalige pagina: [[How to Send Your Recording]]</i><br />
<br />
Tenzij het eerste bericht van je project iets anders zegt, gebruik je de LV-uploader om je bestand in te sturen: [http://librivox.org/login/uploader http://librivox.org/login/uploader]<br />
<br />
[[Image:Login.jpg]]<br />
<br />
(Als je de afbeelding hierboven niet kunt lezen, stuur een berichtje naar een admin) <br />
* Je zult de MC moeten kiezen uit een lijst, zodat je bestand op de juiste plek op de server terecht komt.<br />
** Voor een test kies je <b>tests - tests</b>.<br />
** In sommige gevallen zal de boekcoördinator je vragen je bestand te sturen naar <b>xx - Non-project files</b>.<br />
** Maar meestal stuur je het bestand naar de Metacoördinator van je project. Je vindt de afkorting van haar of hem in de titel van je project. <br />Voorbeeld: "[DUTCH] Andersen's sprookjes en vertellingen -lz". De Metacoördinator staat op het eind, in dit geval -lz. Je kiest in de lijst voor <b>lz - lezer</b><br />
* Klik op Upload File en heb vervolgens heel veel geduld. Het opsturen kost heel wat tijd, en het is mogelijk dat al die tijd helemaal niets op het scherm gebeurd. Maar uiteindelijk zal in het inzetschermpje een tekst verschijnen met een link.<br />
<br />
== Upload melden ==<br />
Als de Uploader je de link naar je bestand gegeven heeft, moet je deze doorgeven aan de boekcoördinator. Dat doe je door in de draad van het project een nieuw bericht te maken (door middel van de knop Reply), waarin je de link kopieert. Zet er dan meteen ook bij hoe lang de opname precies duurt (minuten en seconden). <br />
Stuur de link niet als een privé-bericht (Private Message). De link wordt namelijk door meedere mensen gebruikt, die allemaal het bestand moeten kunnen bereiken.<br />
<br />
<b>Als dit je eerste bijdrage is aan LibriVox</b>, geef dan aan de boekcoördinator door op welke wijze je wilt worden opgenomen in de catalogus. Ook kun je als je dat wilt, een website opgeven die aan je naam gekoppeld wordt.<br />
<br />
== Bewerken na de tekstcontrole ==<br />
:<i>Meer informatie op de Engelstalige pagina: [[Guide for Proof-listeners]]</i><br />
Alle opnamen krijgen een tekstcontrole door een proefluisteraar. Deze controleert op herhalingen, versprekingen en lange pauzes. Bij sommige projecten gaat het zelfs nog preciezer, daar wordt gecontroleerd met de tekst erbij. De bevindingen van de proefluisteraar worden geplaatst in de draad van het project. In de projectlijst (het Magic Window) wordt jouw hoofdstuk gemarkeerd met ofwel een PL OK, als alles in orde is, of met een ander bericht, als er problemen zijn gevonden. Kijk dus terug in het project om te zien wat de status is van je inzending. Moet er nog iets worden aangepast, doe dat dan, zend het bestand opnieuw in (met dezelfde naam), en plaats weer een bericht. De proefluisteraar zal weer opnieuw controleren. Herhaal dit, tot je inzending een OK krijgt.<br />
<br />
<div class="tip"><b>Als je in een opname meerdere wijzigingen moet maken, doe dat dan van achter naar voren. Dan blijven de aangegeven tijden in je opname kloppen.</b></div><br />
<br />
Als een project helemaal klaar is, wordt het in de catalogus gestopt. Als je wilt weten wat er precies met jouw bijdrage gebeurt, kun je meer informatie vinden op deze Engelstalige pagina: [[How LibriVox Works | LibriVox recording process]].<br />
<br />
== Na je eerste bijdrage ==<br />
Het is je gelukt! Je hebt een bijdrage geleverd aan LibriVox! <br /> En, vond je het leuk om te doen? We nodigen je graag uit om verder te gaan. Er zijn verschillende mogelijkheden:<br />
# Maak nog een bijdrage voor een groepsproject.<br />
# Start een eigen project. In het forum New Projects Launch Pad staan helemaal bovenaan een aantal berichten waarin beschreven staat hoe dat gaat. Ook hier heb je verschillende mogelijkheden:<br />
## Maak een eigen project (Going Solo): lees in je eentje een heel boek. <b>(Let op: Een heel boek lezen kan heel veel tijd kosten, meer dan je vooraf kunt overzien. We adviseren je dan ook om eerst meerdere bijdragen te doen aan groepsprojecten, zodat je beter kunt overzien hoeveel tijd je nodig hebt voor een solo.)</b><br />
## Word Boekcoördinator van een groepsproject: een boek, een verzameling korte verhalen, of misschien een toneelstuk. Zie deze Engelstalige pagina: [[How To Become A Book Coordinator]].<br />
<br />
<br />
En nogmaals: fijn dat je bij LibriVox wilt werken!</div>Barthttps://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Quickstart_for_non-English_Users&diff=30012Quickstart for non-English Users2014-11-23T19:25:57Z<p>Bart: /* Nederlands */</p>

<hr />
<div>This page will get you started on making covers for audio and mp3 CDs. To learn how to make the CDs themselves, visit the [[How to Listen]] page. To find blank templates to make your own covers, visit [[Donating LibriVox CDs]] and find the template links at the bottom. We also have a [[Tutorial on making Covers]].<br />
<br />
== Choose a project to make a cover for ==<br />
<br />
Don't make a cover for a project that already has one. We cannot show more than one cover.<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, visit this [http://librivox.nl/claim/ page] first. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Login.jpg]]<br />
<br />
All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed. Here you can make your own claim by adding your forum name to the last column.<br />
<br />
If you are a BC or soloist creating a cover for your project, please try to have the cover ready by cataloging time. You will then only need to add the final running time, which your MC can send you once it has been calculated by the cataloging software.<br />For all covers, we suggest a 3-week deadline for completion as there are other steps (e.g., M4B production) that depend on having a cover. Please don't claim too many covers at the same time and post if you cannot meet the deadline.<br />
<br />
== Quick guide on how to create CD covers ==<br />
# First find some [[#PD Picture Sources|Public Domain pictures]].<br />
# Be creative :)<br />
# Resize your picture to 300x300 pixels and name it: <code>book_title_yymm.jpg</code> (yymm = date) Drop articles.<br />
# Resize it again to 150x150 pixel and name it: <code>book_title_yymm_thumb.jpg</code><br />
# Convert the file to pdf format and name it <code>book_title_yymm.pdf</code>. For doing that you can use a template. You can find zip-files with templates (Word and Open Office) for normal jewel case, little booklets and Origami paper cases here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesOpenoffice.zip OpenOffice] and here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesWord.zip Word]. They have a suggestion for LibriVox small print. To make the PDF several free utilities are available for Microsoft Windows which might prove useful. An example: [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] which installs as a printer driver. Printing from any application while this printer is selected will create the required PDF file. Some CD Cover Creation programs print each page separately, in this case when it prints the second page be sure to reselect the PDF and chose the option to append to an existing PDF. <br />
#Put all your files in one zip. (In Windows: select the files, click right, choose Copy To, choose Compressed Folder.) When you have done more than one cover, all files should go into the same zip.<br />
# '''NEW!!!''' Upload your zip file with the LibriVox Uploader <br />

'''You'll need to select the MC, which for CD covers is: covers - covers'''<br />
<br />
When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread [http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28785 here]:'''Include a link to the book's Librivox catalog page in your post.'''<br />
<br />
If you use only public domain artwork or your own artwork, you can release these designs into the public domain as well and we will upload them to Archive.org. If you choose to use another license for your design, that's okay, but you may need to host them elsewhere. In either case, you can paste a link to your design in the forum thread.<br />
<br />
== Use the logo ==<br />
Although it's not compulsary, we ask you to use the LibriVox logo or name on the cover. Covers are sometimes used outside LibriVox and we do like to tell the world where the cover and the audiobook come from.<br />

<br />
== CD cover templates ==<br />
Here are some basic CD cover templates, which can be customized. They can be cut out and folded in half to allow for a basic cover and, when the case is opened, the specific CD contents reveal track information including duration of each track and reader name. These are a basic alternative for those covers not designed yet and for those who may not be able to print out color. Feel free to change them as needed.<br />

<br />
== CD Covers ==<br />
Librivox covers can be found on many different pages. The complete list is here:<br />
<br />
http://www.archive.org/details.php?identifier=librivoxaudiocovers<br />
<br />
To print, download the file and open it in the free Adobe Reader. Open the printer dialog box and make sure "Fit to page" is NOT selected, then print. Standard typing paper is okay to use, but heavier weight or glossy paper will make the covers look sharp. Cut out the design and fold it to fit into the CD case. You may need to do a little extra trimming depending on the make of the CD case.<br />
<br />
== CD cases ==<br />
=== Single CD and double CDs ===<br />
Single CD cases and double CD cases can be found at some music stores, office supply stores or online retailers (see online resources below). Both single and double CD cases come in two widths, the standard jewel box and the space-saving or “slimline.” For slimline cases, you will only need a front cover. For the standard width cases you will need a front cover and a back cover with flaps which wraps around to the spine.<br />
<br />
=== Four and six CD cases ===<br />
These larger cases can usually only be found in at online retailers. Some retailers:<br />
<br />
* In the USA: [http://www.sleevetown.com/ Sleeve Town]<br />
* In the UK: [http://www.windmilldistribution.co.uk/CD-audio-book-packaging-and-accessories.htm Windmill Distribution]<br />
<br />
Typically, the front cover is the same size as the back cover of a standard CD.<br />
<br />
=== Other options ===<br />
Sleeve Town sells a 10 CD booklet with a printable cover. Templates for the designing front, back, and spine are available at their website.<br />
<br />
Plastic CD wallets holding over 10 discs are available at most music stores and office supply stores. These may be customized by directly drawing on them with permanent markers and stencils, or by covering them with printable contact paper.<br />

== CD Covers ==<br />
Librivox covers can be found on many different pages. The complete list is here:<br />
<br />
http://www.archive.org/details.php?identifier=librivoxaudiocovers<br />
<br />
To print, download the file and open it in the free Adobe Reader. Open the printer dialog box and make sure "Fit to page" is NOT selected, then print. Standard typing paper is okay to use, but heavier weight or glossy paper will make the covers look sharp. Cut out the design and fold it to fit into the CD case. You may need to do a little extra trimming depending on the make of the CD case.<br />
<br />
== CD cases ==<br />
=== Single CD and double CDs ===<br />
Single CD cases and double CD cases can be found at some music stores, office supply stores or online retailers (see online resources below). Both single and double CD cases come in two widths, the standard jewel box and the space-saving or “slimline.” For slimline cases, you will only need a front cover. For the standard width cases you will need a front cover and a back cover with flaps which wraps around to the spine.<br />
<br />
=== Four and six CD cases ===<br />
These larger cases can usually only be found in at online retailers. Some retailers:<br />
<br />
* In the USA: [http://www.sleevetown.com/ Sleeve Town]<br />
* In the UK: [http://www.windmilldistribution.co.uk/CD-audio-book-packaging-and-accessories.htm Windmill Distribution]<br />
<br />
Typically, the front cover is the same size as the back cover of a standard CD.<br />
<br />
=== Other options ===<br />
Sleeve Town sells a 10 CD booklet with a printable cover. Templates for the designing front, back, and spine are available at their website.<br />
<br />
Plastic CD wallets holding over 10 discs are available at most music stores and office supply stores. These may be customized by directly drawing on them with permanent markers and stencils, or by covering them with printable contact paper.<br />

<div>This page will get you started on making covers for audio and mp3 CDs. To learn how to make the CDs themselves, visit the [[How to Listen]] page. To find blank templates to make your own covers, visit [[Donating LibriVox CDs]] and find the template links at the bottom. We also have a [[Tutorial on making Covers]].<br />
<br />
== Choose a project to make a cover for ==<br />
<br />
Don't make a cover for a project that already has one. We cannot show more than one cover.<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, visit this [http://librivox.nl/claim/ page] first. <br />
<br />

<br />
All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed. Here you can make your own claim by adding your forum name to the last column.<br />
<br />
== Quick guide on how to create CD covers ==<br />
# First find some [[#PD Picture Sources|Public Domain pictures]].<br />
# Be creative :)<br />
# Resize your picture to 300x300 pixels and name it: <code>book_title_yymm.jpg</code> (yymm = date) Drop articles.<br />
# Resize it again to 150x150 pixel and name it: <code>book_title_yymm_thumb.jpg</code><br />
# Convert the file to pdf format and name it <code>book_title_yymm.pdf</code>. For doing that you can use a template. You can find zip-files with templates (Word and Open Office) for normal jewel case, little booklets and Origami paper cases here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesOpenoffice.zip OpenOffice] and here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesWord.zip Word]. They have a suggestion for LibriVox small print. To make the PDF several free utilities are available for Microsoft Windows which might prove useful. An example: [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] which installs as a printer driver. Printing from any application while this printer is selected will create the required PDF file. Some CD Cover Creation programs print each page separately, in this case when it prints the second page be sure to reselect the PDF and chose the option to append to an existing PDF. <br />
#Put all your files in one zip. (In Windows: select the files, click right, choose Copy To, choose Compressed Folder.) When you have done more than one cover, all files should go into the same zip.<br />
# '''NEW!!!''' Upload your zip file with the LibriVox Uploader <br />
<br />
{| style="border-collapse:collapse" border=1<br />

(If you have trouble reading the image above, please message an admin)<br />
'''You'll need to select the MC, which for CD covers is: covers - covers'''<br />
<br />
When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread [http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28785 here]:'''Include a link to the book's Librivox catalog page in your post.'''<br />
<br />
If you use only public domain artwork or your own artwork, you can release these designs into the public domain as well and we will upload them to Archive.org. If you choose to use another license for your design, that's okay, but you may need to host them elsewhere. In either case, you can paste a link to your design in the forum thread.<br />
<br />
== Use the logo ==<br />
Although it's not compulsary, we ask you to use the LibriVox logo or name on the cover. Covers are sometimes used outside LibriVox and we do like to tell the world where the cover and the audiobook come from.<br />

== CD cover templates ==<br />
Here are some basic CD cover templates, which can be customized. They can be cut out and folded in half to allow for a basic cover and, when the case is opened, the specific CD contents reveal track information including duration of each track and reader name. These are a basic alternative for those covers not designed yet and for those who may not be able to print out color. Feel free to change them as needed.<br />

<hr />
<div><br />
== Step 1 ==<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, visit this [http://librivox.nl/claim/ page] first.<br /><br />
[[Image:Login.jpg]]<br /><br />
All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed. Here you can make your own claim by adding your forum name to the last column.<br /><br />
Don't make a cover for a project that already has one. We cannot show more than one.<br />
<br />
In this tutorial I’m not going to tell you how to make the design. There are too many different ways to do it, depending on the software you have.<br />
<br />
Finding material for the cover is a bit tricky. We will release your cover in the Public Domain. This means that everything you use should be in the Public Domain too. No restrictions are allowed. Even if the source of the material only asks to be acknowledged, we cannot use it.<br /><br />
You’ll find a list of possible sources for cover art on our [[CD Covers|wiki]]. Sometimes the original e-book (link on the catalog page) already has nice pictures. And of course you can google for pictures. Don’t forget to check the PDness!<br />
<br />
For this tutorial I decided to make a cover for The Woodpeckers, by Fanny Hardy Eckstorm and so I started with making this:<br />
<br />
[[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|600px]]<br />
<br />
The size in this case is 600 by 600 pixels. You’ll need it in a size like this later on, so keep it somewhere safe.<br /><br />
There are a few things to point out here: <br />
* We like to see the LibriVox logo on the front of the cover. It’s available for download from the [[CD Covers|wiki]] in 6 different file formats; <br />
* The size should always be taken in pixels and not in dpi (dots per inch), inches, millimetres, picas or points, feet, yard, miles, centimetres, meters, kilometres or whatever. (In my drawing program I can choose all these and even four more!) The dpi-thing is something completely different and can safely be ignored.<br />
<br />
== Step 2 ==<br />
<br />
From this design we now make two graphics:<br />
<br />
[[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|300px]] [[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|150px]]<br />
<br />
The first one is 300 by 300 pixels and is called woodpeckers_1205.jpg<br /><br />
The second one is 150 by 150 pixels and is called woodpeckers_1205_thumb.jpg<br /><br />
The format for the filenames is important, because of the way we put the covers in the database.<br /><br />
The first part of the filename is taken from the title of the project. The second part is the date (YYMM).<br />
<br />
Depending on the software you use, there are two ways to make these graphics:<br />
* Resize the picture to the size you want and export it to jpg; <br />
* Export the original picture to jpg, and tell the export dialog what size you want. <br />
<br />
When you check the file sizes you’ll see that the 300 by 300 version will have a size of 70 to 150 kB and the small one will be between 10 and 60 kB.<br />
<br />
== Step 3 ==<br />
<br />
To make the set complete, we now make a pdf like this:<br />
<br />
[[image:pdf.jpg]]<br />
<br />
The easiest way of doing this is by using a template from the [[CD Covers|wiki]].<br /><br />
In this case I used the word-template, but the open office version is the same.<br /><br />
There are other templates (for slim cases or origami covers). You can choose whatever you fancy. It would be ok to do more than one, but they should all be in the same pdf-file in the end, for we can only catalog one.<br />
<br />
<br />
What to put on the pdf?<br /><br />
On the front you should use the original size cover. The 300 by 300 version is not good enough.<br /><br />
For the back side there are almost no rules. Just explore the many covers we already have and see what others have done. Make something you like! Here are some examples from [http://archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt18/Jill_the_reckless_1206.pdf Phil], [http://archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt18/Milton_Poem_1205.pdf Janette], [http://www.archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt8/Tavern_Knight_1105.pdf Kathryn], [http://archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt18/sylvias_lovers_1206.pdf Annise], [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/fairytales_andersen.pdf Hokuspokus] and [http://www.archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt/nachtwachenbonaventura_1003.pdf Dirk].<br />
<br />
The only two things we need:<br />
* We do need to know where the picture comes from. Remember: the picture should be in the public domain; no restrictions may apply. In the example above, this info is on the fifth line from the bottom. <br />
* You’ll have to state that everything LibriVox does goes into the public domain, including this cover.<br />
<br />
== Step 4 ==<br />
<br />
Now it’s time to save the pdf.<br /><br />
In Open Office and the newest versions of MSWord, you can do that directly from the save as menu item.<br /><br />
In older versions of MSWord and in many other programs, you’ll need a pdf maker.<br /><br />
I use CutePDF Writer (find it on Google) which works as a printer driver.<br /><br />
The filename should be: woodpeckers_1205.pdf<br /><br />
The size of the file can sit between 100 and 600 kB. When you’re far off, you have to adjust the pdf settings.<br />
<br />
== Step 5 ==<br />
<br />
You now have the three files we need:<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205.jpg<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205_thumb.jpg<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205.pdf<br />
<br />
You can send the cover to us now or you can make more covers first.<br /><br />
When you’re ready, put all the files in one zip.<br />
<br />
== Step 6 ==<br />
<br />
Next step is to upload the zip to LibriVox. You can do that the same way as with audio files:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
* Upload your file with the [http://librivox.org/login/uploader LibriVox Uploader].<br /><br />
: [[Image:Login.jpg]]<br />
:(If you have trouble reading the image above, please message an admin) <br />
* You'll need to select the MC, which for this project is: covers<br />
* When your upload is complete, you will receive a link.</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Step 7 ==<br />
<br />
The final step is to go to the forum: [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28785 Volunteers Wanted: Other Projects / New! Volunteer CD Covers! - cont.]<br /><br />
There you post: <br />
* the link provided by the uploader, <br />
* the urls from the projects you made the covers for<br />
<br />
An admin will come along to add your covers to the database.</div>Barthttps://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Tutorial_on_making_Covers&diff=27055Tutorial on making Covers2013-12-16T06:44:33Z<p>Bart: /* Step 6 */</p>

The first part of the filename is taken from the title of the project. The second part is the date (YYMM).<br />
<br />
Depending on the software you use, there are two ways to make these graphics:<br />
* Resize the picture to the size you want and export it to jpg; <br />
* Export the original picture to jpg, and tell the export dialog what size you want. <br />
<br />
When you check the file sizes you’ll see that the 300 by 300 version will have a size of 70 to 150 kB and the small one will be between 10 and 60 kB.<br />
<br />
== Step 3 ==<br />
<br />
To make the set complete, we now make a pdf like this:<br />
<br />
[[image:pdf.jpg]]<br />
<br />
The easiest way of doing this is by using a template from the [[CD Covers|wiki]].<br /><br />
In this case I used the word-template, but the open office version is the same.<br /><br />
There are other templates (for slim cases or origami covers). You can choose whatever you fancy. It would be ok to do more than one, but they should all be in the same pdf-file in the end, for we can only catalog one.<br />
<br />
<br />
What to put on the pdf?<br /><br />
On the front you should use the original size cover. The 300 by 300 version is not good enough.<br /><br />
For the back side there are almost no rules. Just explore the many covers we already have and see what others have done. Make something you like! Here are some examples from [http://archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt18/Jill_the_reckless_1206.pdf Phil], [http://archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt18/Milton_Poem_1205.pdf Janette], [http://www.archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt8/Tavern_Knight_1105.pdf Kathryn], [http://archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt18/sylvias_lovers_1206.pdf Annise], [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/fairytales_andersen.pdf Hokuspokus] and [http://www.archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt/nachtwachenbonaventura_1003.pdf Dirk].<br />
<br />
The only two things we need:<br />
* We do need to know where the picture comes from. Remember: the picture should be in the public domain; no restrictions may apply. In the example above, this info is on the fifth line from the bottom. <br />
* You’ll have to state that everything LibriVox does goes into the public domain, including this cover.<br />
<br />
== Step 4 ==<br />
<br />
Now it’s time to save the pdf.<br /><br />
In Open Office and the newest versions of MSWord, you can do that directly from the save as menu item.<br /><br />
In older versions of MSWord and in many other programs, you’ll need a pdf maker.<br /><br />
I use CutePDF Writer (find it on Google) which works as a printer driver.<br /><br />
The filename should be: woodpeckers_1205.pdf<br /><br />
The size of the file can sit between 100 and 600 kB. When you’re far off, you have to adjust the pdf settings.<br />
<br />
== Step 5 ==<br />
<br />
You now have the three files we need:<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205.jpg<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205_thumb.jpg<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205.pdf<br />
<br />
You can send the cover to us now or you can make more covers first.<br /><br />
When you’re ready, put all the files in one zip.<br />
<br />
== Step 6 ==<br />
<br />
Next step is to upload the zip to LibriVox. You can do that the same way as with audio files:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
* Upload your file with the [http://librivox.org/login/uploader LibriVox Uploader].<br /><br />
: [[Image:Login.jpg]]<br />
:(If you have trouble reading the image above, please message an admin) <br />
* You'll need to select the MC, which for this project is: covers<br />
* When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread. </blockquote><br />
<br />
== Step 7 ==<br />
<br />
The final step is to go to the forum: [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28785 Volunteers Wanted: Other Projects / New! Volunteer CD Covers! - cont.]<br /><br />
There you post: <br />

<hr />
<div><br />
== Step 1 ==<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, visit this [http://librivox.nl/claim/ page] first.<br /><br />
[[Image:Login.jpg]]<br /><br />
All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed. Here you can make your own claim by adding your forum name to the last column.<br /><br />
Don't make a cover for a project that already has one. We cannot show more than one.<br />
<br />
In this tutorial I’m not going to tell you how to make the design. There are too many different ways to do it, depending on the software you have.<br />
<br />
Finding material for the cover is a bit tricky. We will release your cover in the Public Domain. This means that everything you use should be in the Public Domain too. No restrictions are allowed. Even if the source of the material only asks to be acknowledged, we cannot use it.<br /><br />
You’ll find a list of possible sources for cover art on our [[CD Covers|wiki]]. Sometimes the original e-book (link on the catalog page) already has nice pictures. And of course you can google for pictures. Don’t forget to check the PDness!<br />
<br />
For this tutorial I decided to make a cover for The Woodpeckers, by Fanny Hardy Eckstorm and so I started with making this:<br />
<br />
[[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|600px]]<br />
<br />
The size in this case is 600 by 600 pixels. You’ll need it in a size like this later on, so keep it somewhere safe.<br /><br />
There are a few things to point out here: <br />
* We like to see the LibriVox logo on the front of the cover. It’s available for download from the [[CD Covers|wiki]] in 6 different file formats; <br />
* The size should always be taken in pixels and not in dpi (dots per inch), inches, millimetres, picas or points, feet, yard, miles, centimetres, meters, kilometres or whatever. (In my drawing program I can choose all these and even four more!) The dpi-thing is something completely different and can safely be ignored.<br />
<br />
== Step 2 ==<br />
<br />
From this design we now make two graphics:<br />
<br />
[[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|300px]] [[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|150px]]<br />
<br />
The first one is 300 by 300 pixels and is called woodpeckers_1205.jpg<br /><br />
The second one is 150 by 150 pixels and is called woodpeckers_1205_thumb.jpg<br /><br />
The format for the filenames is important, because of the way we put the covers in the database.<br /><br />
The first part of the filename is taken from the title of the project. The second part is the date (YYMM).<br />

# First find some [[#PD Picture Sources|Public Domain pictures]].<br />
# Be creative :)<br />
# Resize your picture to 300x300 pixels and name it: <code>book_title_yymm.jpg</code> (yymm = date) Drop articles.<br />
# Resize it again to 150x150 pixel and name it: <code>book_title_yymm_thumb.jpg</code><br />
# Convert the file to pdf format and name it <code>book_title_yymm.pdf</code>. For doing that you can use a template. You can find zip-files with templates (Word and Open Office) for normal jewel case, little booklets and Origami paper cases here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesOpenoffice.zip OpenOffice] and here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesWord.zip Word]. They have a suggestion for LibriVox small print. To make the PDF several free utilities are available for Microsoft Windows which might prove useful. An example: [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] which installs as a printer driver. Printing from any application while this printer is selected will create the required PDF file. Some CD Cover Creation programs print each page separately, in this case when it prints the second page be sure to reselect the PDF and chose the option to append to an existing PDF. <br />
#Put all your files in one zip. (In Windows: select the files, click right, choose Copy To, choose Compressed Folder.) When you have done more than one cover, all files should go into the same zip.<br />
# '''NEW!!!''' Upload your zip file with the LibriVox Uploader <br />

When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread [http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28785 here]:'''Include a link to the book's Librivox catalog page in your post.'''<br />
<br />
If you use only public domain artwork or your own artwork, you can release these designs into the public domain as well and we will upload them to Archive.org. If you choose to use another license for your design, that's okay, but you may need to host them elsewhere. In either case, you can paste a link to your design in the forum thread.<br />
<br />
== Use the logo ==<br />
Although it's not compulsary, we ask you to use the LibriVox logo or name on the cover. Covers are sometimes used outside LibriVox and we do like to tell the world where the cover and the audiobook come from.<br />

== CD cover templates ==<br />
Here are some basic CD cover templates, which can be customized. They can be cut out and folded in half to allow for a basic cover and, when the case is opened, the specific CD contents reveal track information including duration of each track and reader name. These are a basic alternative for those covers not designed yet and for those who may not be able to print out color. Feel free to change them as needed.<br />

== CD Covers ==<br />
Librivox covers can be found on many different pages. The complete list is here:<br />
<br />
http://www.archive.org/details.php?identifier=librivoxaudiocovers<br />
<br />
To print, download the file and open it in the free Adobe Reader. Open the printer dialog box and make sure "Fit to page" is NOT selected, then print. Standard typing paper is okay to use, but heavier weight or glossy paper will make the covers look sharp. Cut out the design and fold it to fit into the CD case. You may need to do a little extra trimming depending on the make of the CD case.<br />
<br />
== CD cases ==<br />
=== Single CD and double CDs ===<br />
Single CD cases and double CD cases can be found at some music stores, office supply stores or online retailers (see online resources below). Both single and double CD cases come in two widths, the standard jewel box and the space-saving or “slimline.” For slimline cases, you will only need a front cover. For the standard width cases you will need a front cover and a back cover with flaps which wraps around to the spine.<br />
<br />
=== Four and six CD cases ===<br />
These larger cases can usually only be found in at online retailers. Some retailers:<br />
<br />
* In the USA: [http://www.sleevetown.com/ Sleeve Town]<br />
* In the UK: [http://www.windmilldistribution.co.uk/CD-audio-book-packaging-and-accessories.htm Windmill Distribution]<br />
<br />
Typically, the front cover is the same size as the back cover of a standard CD.<br />
<br />
=== Other options ===<br />
Sleeve Town sells a 10 CD booklet with a printable cover. Templates for the designing front, back, and spine are available at their website.<br />
<br />
Plastic CD wallets holding over 10 discs are available at most music stores and office supply stores. These may be customized by directly drawing on them with permanent markers and stencils, or by covering them with printable contact paper.<br />

== Quick guide on how to create CD covers ==<br />
# First find some [[#PD Picture Sources|Public Domain pictures]].<br />
# Be creative :)<br />
# Resize your picture to 300x300 pixels and name it: <code>book_title_yymm.jpg</code> (yymm = date) Drop articles.<br />
# Resize it again to 150x150 pixel and name it: <code>book_title_yymm_thumb.jpg</code><br />
# Convert the file to pdf format and name it <code>book_title_yymm.pdf</code>. For doing that you can use a template. You can find zip-files with templates (Word and Open Office) for normal jewel case, little booklets and Origami paper cases here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesOpenoffice.zip OpenOffice] and here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesWord.zip Word]. They have a suggestion for LibriVox small print. To make the PDF several free utilities are available for Microsoft Windows which might prove useful. An example: [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] which installs as a printer driver. Printing from any application while this printer is selected will create the required PDF file. Some CD Cover Creation programs print each page separately, in this case when it prints the second page be sure to reselect the PDF and chose the option to append to an existing PDF. <br />
#Put all your files in one zip. (In Windows: select the files, click right, choose Copy To, choose Compressed Folder.) When you have done more than one cover, all files should go into the same zip.<br />

If you use only public domain artwork or your own artwork, you can release these designs into the public domain as well and we will upload them to Archive.org. If you choose to use another license for your design, that's okay, but you may need to host them elsewhere. In either case, you can paste a link to your design in the forum thread.<br />
<br />
== Use the logo ==<br />
Although it's not compulsary, we ask you to use the LibriVox logo or name on the cover. Covers are sometimes used outside LibriVox and we do like to tell the world where the cover and the audiobook come from.<br />

== CD cover templates ==<br />
Here are some basic CD cover templates, which can be customized. They can be cut out and folded in half to allow for a basic cover and, when the case is opened, the specific CD contents reveal track information including duration of each track and reader name. These are a basic alternative for those covers not designed yet and for those who may not be able to print out color. Feel free to change them as needed.<br />

== CD Covers ==<br />
Librivox covers can be found on many different pages. The complete list is here:<br />
<br />
http://www.archive.org/details.php?identifier=librivoxaudiocovers<br />
<br />
To print, download the file and open it in the free Adobe Reader. Open the printer dialog box and make sure "Fit to page" is NOT selected, then print. Standard typing paper is okay to use, but heavier weight or glossy paper will make the covers look sharp. Cut out the design and fold it to fit into the CD case. You may need to do a little extra trimming depending on the make of the CD case.<br />
<br />
== CD cases ==<br />
=== Single CD and double CDs ===<br />
Single CD cases and double CD cases can be found at some music stores, office supply stores or online retailers (see online resources below). Both single and double CD cases come in two widths, the standard jewel box and the space-saving or “slimline.” For slimline cases, you will only need a front cover. For the standard width cases you will need a front cover and a back cover with flaps which wraps around to the spine.<br />
<br />
=== Four and six CD cases ===<br />
These larger cases can usually only be found in at online retailers. Some retailers:<br />
<br />
* In the USA: [http://www.sleevetown.com/ Sleeve Town]<br />
* In the UK: [http://www.windmilldistribution.co.uk/CD-audio-book-packaging-and-accessories.htm Windmill Distribution]<br />
<br />
Typically, the front cover is the same size as the back cover of a standard CD.<br />
<br />
=== Other options ===<br />
Sleeve Town sells a 10 CD booklet with a printable cover. Templates for the designing front, back, and spine are available at their website.<br />
<br />
Plastic CD wallets holding over 10 discs are available at most music stores and office supply stores. These may be customized by directly drawing on them with permanent markers and stencils, or by covering them with printable contact paper.<br />

<hr />
<div><br />
== Step 1 ==<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, please visit this [http://librivox.nl/nocovers.utf8.htm page] first. All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed with an orange label. Choose a project and go to [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28785 this forum thread] to make a claim.<br />
<br />
In this tutorial I’m not going to tell you how to make the design. There are too many different ways to do it, depending on the software you have.<br /><br />
Finding material for the cover is a bit tricky. We will release your cover in the Public Domain. This means that everything you use should be in the Public Domain too. No restrictions are allowed. Even if the source of the material only asks to be acknowledged, we cannot use it.<br /><br />
You’ll find a list of possible sources for cover art on our [[CD Covers|wiki]]. Sometimes the original e-book (link on the catalog page) already has nice pictures. And of course you can google for pictures. Don’t forget to check the PDness!<br />
<br />
For this tutorial I decided to make a cover for The Woodpeckers, by Fanny Hardy Eckstorm and so I started with making this:<br />
<br />
[[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|600px]]<br />
<br />
The size in this case is 600 by 600 pixels. You’ll need it in a size like this later on, so keep it somewhere safe.<br /><br />
There are a few things to point out here: <br />
* We like to see the LibriVox logo on the front of the cover. It’s available for download from the [[CD Covers|wiki]] in 6 different file formats; <br />
* The size should always be taken in pixels and not in dpi (dots per inch), inches, millimetres, picas or points, feet, yard, miles, centimetres, meters, kilometres or whatever. (In my drawing program I can choose all these and even four more!) The dpi-thing is something completely different and can safely be ignored.<br />
<br />
== Step 2 ==<br />
<br />
From this design we now make two graphics:<br />
<br />
[[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|300px]] [[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|150px]]<br />
<br />
The first one is 300 by 300 pixels and is called woodpeckers_1205.jpg<br /><br />
The second one is 150 by 150 pixels and is called woodpeckers_1205_thumb.jpg<br /><br />
The format for the filenames is important, because of the way we put the covers in the database.<br /><br />
The first part of the filename is taken from the title of the project. The second part is the date (YYMM).<br />
<br />
Depending on the software you use, there are two ways to make these graphics:<br />
* Resize the picture to the size you want and export it to jpg; <br />
* Export the original picture to jpg, and tell the export dialog what size you want. <br />
<br />
When you check the file sizes you’ll see that the 300 by 300 version will have a size of 70 to 150 kB and the small one will be between 10 and 60 kB.<br />
<br />
== Step 3 ==<br />
<br />
To make the set complete, we now make a pdf like this:<br />
<br />
[[image:pdf.jpg]]<br />
<br />
The easiest way of doing this is by using a template from the [[CD Covers|wiki]].<br /><br />
In this case I used the word-template, but the open office version is the same.<br /><br />
There are other templates (for slim cases or origami covers). You can choose whatever you fancy. It would be ok to do more than one, but they should all be in the same pdf-file in the end, for we can only catalog one.<br />
<br />
<br />
What to put on the pdf?<br /><br />
On the front you should use the original size cover. The 300 by 300 version is not good enough.<br /><br />
For the back side there are almost no rules. Just explore the many covers we already have and see what others have done. Make something you like! Here are some examples from [http://archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt18/Jill_the_reckless_1206.pdf Phil], [http://archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt18/Milton_Poem_1205.pdf Janette], [http://www.archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt8/Tavern_Knight_1105.pdf Kathryn], [http://archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt18/sylvias_lovers_1206.pdf Annise], [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/fairytales_andersen.pdf Hokuspokus] and [http://www.archive.org/download/LibrivoxCdCoverArt/nachtwachenbonaventura_1003.pdf Dirk].<br />
<br />
The only two things we need:<br />
* We do need to know where the picture comes from. Remember: the picture should be in the public domain; no restrictions may apply. In the example above, this info is on the fifth line from the bottom. <br />
* You’ll have to state that everything LibriVox does goes into the public domain, including this cover.<br />
<br />
== Step 4 ==<br />
<br />
Now it’s time to save the pdf.<br /><br />
In Open Office and the newest versions of MSWord, you can do that directly from the save as menu item.<br /><br />
In older versions of MSWord and in many other programs, you’ll need a pdf maker.<br /><br />
I use CutePDF Writer (find it on Google) which works as a printer driver.<br /><br />
The filename should be: woodpeckers_1205.pdf<br /><br />
The size of the file can sit between 100 and 600 kB. When you’re far off, you have to adjust the pdf settings.<br />
<br />
== Step 5 ==<br />
<br />
You now have the three files we need:<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205.jpg<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205_thumb.jpg<br /><br />
woodpeckers_1205.pdf<br />
<br />
You can send the cover to us now or you can make more covers first.<br /><br />
When you’re ready, put all the files in one zip.<br />
<br />
== Step 6 ==<br />
<br />
Next step is to upload the zip to LibriVox. You can do that the same way as with audio files:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
* Upload your file with the [http://librivox.org/login/uploader LibriVox Uploader].<br /><br />
: [[Image:Login.jpg]]<br />
:(If you have trouble reading the image above, please message an admin) <br />
* You'll need to select the MC, which for this project is: covers - covers <br />
* When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread. </blockquote><br />
<br />
== Step 7 ==<br />
<br />
The final step is to go to the forum: [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28785 Volunteers Wanted: Other Projects / New! Volunteer CD Covers! - cont.]<br /><br />
There you post: <br />
* the link provided by the uploader, <br />
* the urls from the projects you made the covers for<br />
<br />
An admin will come along to add your covers to the database.</div>Barthttps://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Tutorial_on_making_Covers&diff=25946Tutorial on making Covers2013-09-15T22:41:21Z<p>Bart: /* Step 1 */</p>
<hr />
<div><br />
== Step 1 ==<br />
<br />
If you want to make a cover, please visit this [http://librivox.nl/nocovers.utf8.htm page] first. All projects on the list are available, except the ones that are claimed with an orange label. Choose a project and go to [https://forum.librivox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=28785 this forum thread] to make a claim.<br />
<br />
In this tutorial I’m not going to tell you how to make the design. There are too many different ways to do it, depending on the software you have.<br /><br />
Finding material for the cover is a bit tricky. We will release your cover in the Public Domain. This means that everything you use should be in the Public Domain too. No restrictions are allowed. Even if the source of the material only asks to be acknowledged, we cannot use it.<br /><br />
You’ll find a list of possible sources for cover art on our [[CD Covers|wiki]]. Sometimes the original e-book (link on the catalog page) already has nice pictures. And of course you can google for pictures. Don’t forget to check the PDness!<br />
<br />
For this tutorial I decided to make a cover for The Woodpeckers, by Fanny Hardy Eckstorm and so I started with making this:<br />
<br />
[[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|600px]]<br />
<br />
The size in this case is 600 by 600 pixels. You’ll need it in a size like this later on, so keep it somewhere safe.<br /><br />
There are a few things to point out here: <br />
* We like to see the LibriVox logo on the front of the cover. It’s available for download from the [[CD Covers|wiki]] in 6 different file formats; <br />
* The size should always be taken in pixels and not in dpi (dots per inch), inches, millimetres, picas or points, feet, yard, miles, centimetres, meters, kilometres or whatever. (In my drawing program I can choose all these and even four more!) The dpi-thing is something completely different and can safely be ignored.<br />
<br />
== Step 2 ==<br />
<br />
From this design we now make two graphics:<br />
<br />
[[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|300px]] [[image:Woodpeckers_1204_groot.jpg|150px]]<br />
<br />
The first one is 300 by 300 pixels and is called woodpeckers_1205.jpg<br /><br />
The second one is 150 by 150 pixels and is called woodpeckers_1205_thumb.jpg<br /><br />
The format for the filenames is important, because of the way we put the covers in the database.<br /><br />
The first part of the filename is taken from the title of the project. The second part is the date (YYMM).<br />
<br />
Depending on the software you use, there are two ways to make these graphics:<br />
* Resize the picture to the size you want and export it to jpg; <br />
* Export the original picture to jpg, and tell the export dialog what size you want. <br />
<br />
When you check the file sizes you’ll see that the 300 by 300 version will have a size of 70 to 150 kB and the small one will be between 10 and 60 kB.<br />
<br />
== Step 3 ==<br />
<br />
To make the set complete, we now make a pdf like this:<br />
<br />
[[image:pdf.jpg]]<br />
<br />
The easiest way of doing this is by using a template from the [[CD Covers|wiki]].<br /><br />
In this case I used the word-template, but the open office version is the same.<br /><br />

== Choose a project to make a cover for ==<br />

<br />
== Quick guide on how to create CD covers ==<br />
# First find some [[#PD Picture Sources|Public Domain pictures]].<br />
# Be creative :)<br />
# Resize your picture to 300x300 pixels and name it: <code>book_title_yymm.jpg</code> (yymm = date) Drop articles.<br />
# Resize it again to 150x150 pixel and name it: <code>book_title_yymm_thumb.jpg</code><br />
# Convert the file to pdf format and name it <code>book_title_yymm.pdf</code>. For doing that you can use a template. You can find zip-files with templates (Word and Open Office) for normal jewel case, little booklets and Origami paper cases here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesOpenoffice.zip OpenOffice] and here for [http://www.archive.org/download/librivox_cd_covers/templates/CdCoverTemplatesWord.zip Word]. They have a suggestion for LibriVox small print. To make the PDF several free utilities are available for Microsoft Windows which might prove useful. An example: [http://www.primopdf.com/ PrimoPDF] which installs as a printer driver. Printing from any application while this printer is selected will create the required PDF file. Some CD Cover Creation programs print each page separately, in this case when it prints the second page be sure to reselect the PDF and chose the option to append to an existing PDF. <br />
#Put all your files in one zip. (In Windows: select the files, click right, choose Copy To, choose Compressed Folder.) When you have done more than one cover, all files should go into the same zip.<br />
# '''NEW!!!''' Upload your zip file with the LibriVox Uploader <br />

When your upload is complete, you will receive a link - please post it in this thread [http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28785 here]:'''Include a link to the book's Librivox catalog page in your post.'''<br />
<br />
If you use only public domain artwork or your own artwork, you can release these designs into the public domain as well and we will upload them to Archive.org. If you choose to use another license for your design, that's okay, but you may need to host them elsewhere. In either case, you can paste a link to your design in the forum thread.<br />
<br />
== Use the logo ==<br />
Although it's not compulsary, we ask you to use the LibriVox logo or name on the cover. Covers are sometimes used outside LibriVox and we do like to tell the world where the cover and the audiobook come from.<br />

== CD cover templates ==<br />
Here are some basic CD cover templates, which can be customized. They can be cut out and folded in half to allow for a basic cover and, when the case is opened, the specific CD contents reveal track information including duration of each track and reader name. These are a basic alternative for those covers not designed yet and for those who may not be able to print out color. Feel free to change them as needed.<br />

== CD Covers ==<br />
Librivox covers can be found on many different pages. The complete list is here:<br />
<br />
http://www.archive.org/details.php?identifier=librivoxaudiocovers<br />
<br />
To print, download the file and open it in the free Adobe Reader. Open the printer dialog box and make sure "Fit to page" is NOT selected, then print. Standard typing paper is okay to use, but heavier weight or glossy paper will make the covers look sharp. Cut out the design and fold it to fit into the CD case. You may need to do a little extra trimming depending on the make of the CD case.<br />
<br />
== CD cases ==<br />
=== Single CD and double CDs ===<br />
Single CD cases and double CD cases can be found at some music stores, office supply stores or online retailers (see online resources below). Both single and double CD cases come in two widths, the standard jewel box and the space-saving or “slimline.” For slimline cases, you will only need a front cover. For the standard width cases you will need a front cover and a back cover with flaps which wraps around to the spine.<br />
<br />
=== Four and six CD cases ===<br />
These larger cases can usually only be found in at online retailers. Some retailers:<br />
<br />
* In the USA: [http://www.sleevetown.com/ Sleeve Town]<br />
* In the UK: [http://www.windmilldistribution.co.uk/CD-audio-book-packaging-and-accessories.htm Windmill Distribution]<br />
<br />
Typically, the front cover is the same size as the back cover of a standard CD.<br />
<br />
=== Other options ===<br />
Sleeve Town sells a 10 CD booklet with a printable cover. Templates for the designing front, back, and spine are available at their website.<br />
<br />
Plastic CD wallets holding over 10 discs are available at most music stores and office supply stores. These may be customized by directly drawing on them with permanent markers and stencils, or by covering them with printable contact paper.<br />
