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.

I Often Dream of Trains in New York DELUXE EDITION

Gamil Design worked with Yep Roc and Robyn Hitchcock to create a deluxe CD package for a limited Deluxe Edition of “I Often Dream of Trains in New York”. The classic looking CD package unfolds and transforms into a phenakistoscope, or moving picture machine. Original CD and DVD artwork can be viewed as animations through the included viewer. Gamil developed and produced the package concept, design and artwork. Each part of this deluxe package was made in the USA. This Deluxe Edition can be purchased at Yep Roc!

Nice show at the (smoke free) Cat’s Cradle last night. Robyn Hitchcock was joined by Peter Buck (REM) on guitar, Bill Rieflin (REM) on drums and Scott McCaughey (Minus 5/REM) on bass – all known as the Venus 3. The group is supported by our friends at Yep Roc.
