Blonde Redhead "23" CD Album Art

This CD packaging design was created for the album "23" by Indie band Blonde Redhead. This project consisted of all parts of the CD, including the liner notes (with lyrics), back cover, and the disc design itself. This was created as part of a Computer Design course, where the only guidelines were to include lyrics in the art.
