Description

I wanted to create a mood illustrating the band and also reflecting Danny Elfman’s visual needs. I worked very closely with him as the packaging is all part of his extensive collection. Some of the type used on this package were Ideoque, Oration, and the tireless use of Photoshop to create the “garbage” type.
