Remember a few weeks ago when we featured the new Robyn Hitchcock Deluxe CD Package we did for Yep Roc Records? Well today we found out about a great case study in the Winter 2009 Issue of MediaPack magazine written by Larry Jaffee titled “He often dreams of packaging.” In the article Jaffee, wrote about the collaboration between Robyn Hitchcock (the artist), Yep Roc Records (Robyn’s label), and Gamil Design (the conceptual brain-power and designers) of the limited edition album.

MediaPack is the international packaging business magazine for content owners and the optical media industry—linking the producers of films, music, and games on disc with suppliers and creators of packages.
