Project Description
Lift Every Voice is Texas State University President Denise M. Trauthâs holiday gift to a special audience. The goal of the project is to instill Bobcat pride and expand the university’s a cappella group’s audience. The CD packaging juxtaposes sophisticated typography with high-impact photography of the most beautiful campus in Texas. The layering of the song lyrics on semi-translucent pages adds a subtle effect to the photography revealed below and complements the message of discovery and change in the album’s music. The overall impression is more reminiscent of a specialty book than a simple CD package.Production Lesson(s)
It was a challenge to get the foil-stamped line work on the cover as fine as we wanted. We leveraged our printers’ knowledge throughout the planning process to adjust and achieve the final design. Communication is key when working with our printers, and our great relationship with them gave us a stunning product.
