Changing the world with music. Broadside was an underground magazine dedicated to protest music that was "too creative for the folkies and too radical for the establishment." For this five-CD Smithsonian Folkways box set, we designed a slipcase covered in stickers and a wiro-bound book (with custom chipboard CD sleeves) inside. Folkways' packaging manufacturer said it couldn't be done—so we sourced all the vendors and materials ourselves. We also made lots of promotional materials, including a huge poster with lots of Broadside covers on the back.

thanks:
"Hooray! You've invented a great new design...we
can read without a magnifying glass! Congrats to you all."
