The beauty of packaging

My minor at university was package design. I tried illustration, but every illustration I did was like having a baby. (I decided having babies was best left to women.) After a few semesters of hard labors, I fit easily into the package design area of studies. (Part of the improvement was not just me - it was a better professor in that area.)

So anyhow, my sister Amy (who has had three babies) sent me this CD set. She bought it at a charity shop because she liked the packaging. I like the packaging too. To me, her string "ribbon" and the attached note were as much a positive part of the package design as the CD cover itself!
