some good info on creating postscriptfiles and pdfs from quark and indesign for the printer here, mr. schetne. I think its for both mac and pc.
only for skilled norwegian readers.

good info both in 'oppsett' and 'kokebok'.

Nice! Love the spread in the middle - but as it was said previously - the type is a little bent and the blur is abrubt.
Good work tho. : )

Haha! The type isn't bent anymore... I removed that page, and replaced it with a lores picture of some picture frames.
- schjetne0
The type just looks bent because Illustrator isn't very good on text preview at small sizes.

Going out for beers now. Hope to see plenty of good replies when I get back :)
Thanks, people! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on this.

I love norwegian designers. I want to be a norwegian designer.

I like it. a lot.
I'm not crazy about the blur, but..
"everything else looks great!"

honestly, i just don't know about this one. i think the type is sloppy as hell...
- schjetne0
Could you tell me more about why you find the type sloppy? I know already that people don't like that "logo" thing, and I can't really do anything about that. Do you think the type on page 2 and 3 is sloppy? On the back of the tray card?

over all, consistancy isn't there. the cd itself and "Bunnark innside" do not really tie in with the theme of the piece (which i'm honestly not huge on either, but that's just opinion).
really, my biggest issue would have to be the logo thing (which is out of your control, i know).
secondly, i think the body copy on page 2 is inconsistant with the overall flow of the piece. too light, condensed, tight, with alot of kerning issues. just doesn't pop enough, in such a busy design.
- schjetne0
Once more, the kerning issue is caused by Illustrator preview.
JMP, I understand where you're coming from, and I will think about it, look into ways of improving the consistency and type use...
This design must be really special, as I'm getting comments ranging from "omg this is fucking AWESOME" to "wtf this is crap, schjetne, I expected more from you"...
I've never gotten comments this spread over the spectrum on anything I've ever made...
