Project Overview.

For Rock the Earth, an environmental nonprofit with roots in the music industry, we created a visually compelling CD design that reflects their mission and appeals to music enthusiasts while also supporting environmental advocacy.

Custom CD Packaging Design for an Environmental Nonprofit.

The CD packaging incorporates bold visuals and memorable illustrative techniques for a two-disc compilation titled “Music for the Planet,” featuring a lineup of renowned musicians. The album was released by nugs.net and all profits from CD sales and digital downloads were donated to Rock the Earth.
