Fedora Core/Extras 6CD/DVD cover art

[Jordan]

That looks really good. Assuming -- probably incorrectly -- that you -- 
or someone else -- are designing for the movie-type DVD case, is there 
any chance you could go with a 3D perspective on the helix? In other 
words, show the same helix from 3 different views on the front, side, 
and back. I think it would look really cool. Of course, I'm too lazy to 
do it myself, but if someone more skilled than me could do it... -

I've worked with various printers before I've never had issues getting 
gradients printed. A gradient with  one color to transparency is 
considered 1 color. A gradient from one color to another is considered 2 
colors.

The above is, of course, on paper. I don't know about printing on DVDs 
but I'd imagine it's similar.

The current svg on the website is AFAIK the template that was used to 
print on a paperboard DVD slipcase.

I played around a bit in inkscape - attaching the results, anyone can 
feel free to play with it.
