The covers were aimed for containing only simple text with different font sizes, but since it is only a parbox in a tabular enviroment's cell, it can contain anything that a parbox can contain. There are also macros which can resize ready-to-print images to the appropriate size. The supported covers are -jewel case front, back and individual spine -two-page jewel case front -slim DVD keepcase -normal DVD keepcase -Blu-Ray keepcase -costum-sized keepcase -disk sleeve -one sided DVD keepcase inlay -one sided Blu-Ray keepcase inlay -costum-sized inlay ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/simplecd . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/simplecd (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
