About Tomasz Stanko Albumverpakkingsontwerp

Tomasz Stanko Polish Radio Sessions is 'n albumverpakkingsontwerp wat geskep is vir 'n versameling van 39 voorheen onuitgereikte opnames wat tussen 1970 en 1991 gemaak is. Die vrystelling bevat ses vinielplate, 'n kompakskyfuitgawe en 'n 48-bladsy boekie met argieffoto's en persoonlike nadenke. Die visuele identiteit is gebaseer op 'n swart-en-wit tipografiese komposisie wat opgebou is uit die letters van die musikant se van. Ses omslae herinterpreteer een motief en vorm 'n modulêre geheel. Die verpakking is in offset gedruk en afgewerk met mat laminering.
