In support of touring musician Hannah Mayree, we were commissioned to develop the LP & CD packaging for their self-titled album. We worked directly with the artist and their creative director, Anaka, to build upon images from two photo shoots to develop their album cover and all of the print-ready files for manufacutirng the vinyl, CD, cases, and accompanying lyric booklets. The visual direction for the project was classic and soulful so we focused on clean aesthetic with serif typefaces and netural colors while drawing inspriation from albums by Sade, Luther Vandross, Anita Baker, and more.
