I’m thrilled to announce that the latest addition to the READ CD product line is now here! The READ DVD Genres & Subjects can speak for itself, but I’m too excited to let it do all the talking. Here are the highlights:

We spoke to over 100 librarians to get their feedback on what the most popular reading genres and subjects are, and thanks to their feedback we now have art files that reflect everything from horror to adventure, crafting to cooking, mystery to science, and so much more! (Page 2 of this PDF shows the complete contents.)

Genres & Subjects is a DVD as opposed to CD because of the 23 READ poster files (15 .psd or “layered” and 8 .jpgs), 15 READ bookmark files, and 16 READ type files, which would have required multiple CDs but can conveniently fit onto 1 DVD. The majority of the type files fit the poster themes, but there are some additional ones like stained glass and architecture, which are great to mix and match with other READ CD products.

Cooking up READ Posters!

That’s another exciting thing about Genres & Subjects: it’s compatible with any past READ CD product and the art files are great to mix and match with posters and type files from the READ CD Box Set. Something else I love about this latest DVD is that thanks to theme, the art files have some awesome creative potential. For now, I’ll leave it at that, but be sure to come back in ensuing weeks to check out new creative ideas and samples!

And last but not least, you may be seeing a lot about the READ Design Studio now. That’s simply the inclusive name we’ve given all the products (READ CD 1, READ CD 2, READ CD Box Set, and READ DVD Genres & Subjects) you can use to create a customized READ poster.

[Note: The cooking art file pictured here does not include the "DVD", fork, or spoon. All the other elements are present on the file, though, and obviously more can easily be added!]
