Who can make a bitchin' autorun cd menu?

[Madrone]

I'm working on a project for work, and I need to make a couple of menus for the front end of the cds. I downloaded the trial version of AutoPlay Media Studio and created a pretty nice 1st page menu today - but the $500 price tag makes it a NO GO to my boss. So - I've got a sweet looking 1st menu I can't use for anything and that will self destruct 4 days from the mment of creation.

I don't know jack about vbs - and not enough time to learn it enough to piece together what I'm trying to do. I can't work PhotoShop in any way that's even remotely productive.... the free versions of autorun menu creators leave a finished product looking like - well - it was FREE. (that's not even true - I work with AWESOME free software every day - but there's nothing awesome about the freely available autorun programs)


Help?

1. $500 seems like a small investment

It's not like you're going to be using this tool for just the one project, right? How much would it cost to hire a graphic designer or media pro to do this menu?

2. yeah, it would be for this one project.

so it really is a little too spendy.

Pro for $139.95 or personal for $54.95 at:http://www.cdmenupro.com/index.htm
or this one for $49.00 at: http://www.kl-soft.com/autoplay.php?ref=ppc
or this budget one for $19.00 here: http://www.autorunarchitect.com/index.htm
Good luck!
