Hey Danny,
Here's what I've got for you. Let me know what you think, what changes you want made, what to tweak, etc. What's here is basically showing you how the design fit into the template. The ones with no template are a preview of where (theoretically) their trim-line would be - i.e. what it should actually look like. I used their templates - but boy were they needlessly complicated and kind of a pain (way more complicated and antiquated than the last ones I dealt with). I've got them in any format you need (layered and flattened) and I also have the fonts and textures, etc. for them.
I've also run into another potential snag. I work in a specific color format for my usual printers (RGB). Discmakers wants everything to be converted to a different one (CMYK). I bring this up because I did my designs before laoding into their templates and some of the colors shifted a little - I found them to get more muted and have less "pop" - and this got brighter/lighter in my eyes (I think this is most evident in the cover and traycard). Below I'm putting a gallery for you of each. I also think everything should be sent to them in both and really stress to them that it needs to match the RGB versions (which is what I intended stuff to look like). Also, for some weird ass reason their templates caused color shifts, so honestly not sure what will happen when they open the files. I'm putting both here so you'll know what I'm talking about. Also, because of different screen calibrations it will likely end up somewhere in the middle since your monitor, mine, and theirs are all different. Let me know if that makes no sense.
The CD label I did straight into their template so it's only in CMYK.
You let me know if, when you're ready, you'll need me to upload this to them or if you want to do it (which may involve me getting a disc you or posting some big files here. In any event, let me know what you think.
Saw your poster at the Aggie last night. Excited for you. Thanks for letting me be a part.
best,
Marc
PS. You have a beat credit for Track 13, but you never gave me a Track 13 title - is it hidden or something?

These are the converted CMYK files.
These are the RGB files that I wanted them to look like.
If you're curious, here's the picture I ended up taking after dirtying up my bathroom a bit.
