Sometimes our eyes get too used of seeing exaggerated designs that we don’t find them appealing anymore-they all just become one colorful blur. That is why ‘less is more’ works in music packaging. Put a plain packaging in a sea of colorful artwork and it would instantly get attention. Remember, a design doesn’t have to be over-the-top in order to be called creative. A perfect example is On’s vinyl packaging for their album Your Naked Ghost Comes Back At Night.
Yes, there is a design in this cardboard packaging and no, that’s not dirt you see on the upper part of the sleeve. Those are silhouettes of birds flying up in the sky.
Not only is this design soothing to the eyes, it’s also very eco-friendly!
And check out the design of the records below. Really calm and soothing just like the music in this album.
