Boxed Set Contents - For this piece, I created a personal mixtape of songs that, for me, were a real morale-booster and encouraged me to get to work. The packaging is screen printed on chipboard. The shape was achieved through laser cutting. This view shows all the pieces in the set: main case, CD case, and 10 song cards.

Package Functionality - For this piece, I created a personal mixtape of songs that, for me, were a real morale-booster and encouraged me to get to work. The packaging is screen printed on chipboard. The functionality of the packaging works in a way that the front flap opens up (sealed by velcro) to a divided compartment with a slot for the song cards and CD case.

CD Case - For this piece, I created a personal mixtape of songs that, for me, were a real morale-booster and encouraged me to get to work. The packaging is screen printed on chipboard. This view shows the CD. Both the case and CD itself were screen printed. The CD fits into a lasercut space that has a plastic hub for it to lock into.

Song Cards - For this piece, I created a personal mixtape of songs that, for me, were a real morale-booster and encouraged me to get to work. The packaging is screen printed on chipboard. The cards I created for each song are two-sided: the front side shows the artist and has an explanation of why I chose the song. The back side shows the song title and lyrics.

Back of Packaging - For this piece, I created a personal mixtape of songs that, for me, were a real morale-booster and encouraged me to get to work. The packaging is screen printed on chipboard. The back of the packaging has a lasercut hole in the back, which reveals the tracklisting printed on the back of the CD case.
