errandboy- maja music dvd

taken plastic out of the equation left errandboy with a design problem, they wanted to create a high quality piece of packaging that would interest the recipent even if they had their eyes closed they could feel the package. maja's music is earthy, warm, organic and atmospheric. they tried to create a sort of ancient artifact influenced by pottery pieces around maja's studio. the logo was burnt into the wood using a metal branding tool and velvet inserts were used and a rubber stamp made for the type on the back of the package.

asterik studio- zao 'parade of chaos'

another die-cut cd package from asterik, lineing up the centre inlay with the booklet insert. vital that everything lined perfectly for the aesthetic to work

asterik studio- open hand: the dream cd pack

 i love the use of die-cutting to create the folding layers in the cd packaging, it was to reflect the depth of the music. i think the use of colour works really well to break up the layers yet keeping a connection with the grainy images. lots of careful mathematics and mock-ups were undergone before creating the final resolution.

sign* - jaques brel

this box holds a 120-page picture book and the complete collection of jaques brel 16 cd's. the box became a collectors item with 60,000 made selling within eight weeks. sign* wanted to create maximum impact therefore chose to print in full colour plus 3 pantone spot colours.

 below is the follow up for the cd box, this was a much easier design as they had a production run of 40,000 copies within 2months. use of silver blocking

999 design- 'the getaway presspack'

designed for the product launch of new sony playstation 2 game 'the getaway'. 999 design created a pack the contained a ransom note, a lock of hair and photographs aswell as the game on disk. i like how these extra products were sent with the game as it makes it seem real and gives a high quality finish to the product.
