30 2012 ✦ CG, stickers, origami paper ✦ album packaging    For my good buddy Ryan's big 30th birthday, I had to make him something special. I've made him a ton of mix CDs over the years, and I decided this one would be the one to beat. My ideas ended up spilling over into a six CD set, as well as four bonus CDs of artists I'd gotten into. I went pretty deluxe with the handmade packaging, making a slipcase for the individual CDs and their sleeves. I used origami paper & fancy metallic silver cardstock, and designed the tracklists and disc sleeve numbers on the computer. I themed the packaging around hexagons. All in all, one of my favorite package designs I've made.         MAKING THE PACKAGING   Site contents and design © Evan Hayden
