help with cd cover design.

[salvador marley]

I've been asked to do a cd cover for a band but have only ever done graphics for web.

Perhaps you can help me, i need to know in particular if there are any good templates available for use with photoshop (i looked on google but found nothing of any use). I presume when the thing is finished, it would have to be saved as a cmyk image? Then would it be sent as a tiff image?

what format would a print shop need?

Basically, what i'm saying is this - i'm a novice with this and if you have ever done a cd cover - i'd be delighted to hear from you.

Thank you.

I have a HP kit for a label maker that came with template layouts for all sorts of things including CD cases and lables.

Maybe something like that?

A note on the album for the band Spree. The album is called mannish water - which is- a caribean soup which is supposed to increase virility http://www.graphic-forums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif hence the soup can
