When we were asked to package a series of EPs for LoAF, a new sub-label of Lo Recording, we aimed to look for a completely fresh approach. Firstly we decided to avoid any traditional music packaging vehicles like the jewel case and instead searched for more interesting ways that a new label could make its mark.

The idea we arrived at was to ask a visual artist to produce a limited edition print or poster that would accompany each release, in effect marrying the artist’s work with the musician’s work. To tie them all together we created a generic format where the CD and art print are enclosed in a sealed plastic document envelope which is attached to a 12" grey board. After being assembled it is silkscreen overprinted with bold typography that gives the visual artist the same billing as the musician.
