Hi Bruce, Thanks. I'll take a look at a different alignment, although I think that ship has already sailed. As presented, "Healing" and "Vibrations" are centered in respect to each other, while Paul's name is flush right with vibrations. We were looking for something that felt casual, as exemplified by the Chalkboard font. In respect to size, I printed a sample, and it seems to work well. Paul Miles is very low key and wants his name to appear relatively small. I think the CD will be sold only by mail order and at appearances, so size and placement, as they relate to store racking, aren't critical. On Sep 14, 2011, at 5:13 PM, Bruce Walker wrote:
