Flaming CD Packaging

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Rabbit Children EP is Swathed in an Intricately Illustrated Case

— February 16, 2012 — Art & Design
Hoping to make a splash in the music world, the indie group Rabbit Children enlisted the help of designer Brian Danaher to craft an eye-catching package for their upcoming EP. The group wanted to create a clever case for their music that would act as a powerful promotional tool and, more importantly, appeal to their loyal fan base. The heavily illustrated case features intriguing vignettes inspired by the band's lyrics.

The Rabbit Children sent these gorgeous cases off to bloggers, radio stations and concert promoters, hoping Brain Danaher's astounding work would help their music stand out from a sea of digital download codes. While it is unclear how this panned out for the aspiring musicians, it is safe to say that this dazzling packaging is enough to turn more than a few heads.

A loving revival of a forgotten art form, the Rabbit Children EP packaging gives you ample reason not to download this music.
