Frequency Graph J-card template

A frequency-response curve on a log grid with dB and Hz scales, like the test sheet that came with a good tape deck.

Front

Spine and flap
The title reads down the spine, and the tracklist runs down the flap, Side A at the top.
Inside panel
A test record on graph paper: a dedication, the tracklist and the credits.
Good for
Electronic music, field recordings and tape enthusiasts.

With an inside panel

Choose With inside panel above the card in the designer and it gains a fourth panel, the same size as the front, that folds in behind the cover. On Frequency Graph it carries a test record on graph paper: a dedication, the tracklist and the credits.

It still prints on one side of the paper, so there's nothing to line up. Add a dedication, notes or lyrics, and credits in the designer's More options.
