The Design

About Tomasz Stanko Albumemballagedesign

Tomasz Stanko Polish Radio Sessions er et albumemballagedesign skabt til en samling af 39 tidligere uudgivne optagelser indspillet mellem 1970 og 1991. Udgivelsen indeholder seks vinylplader, en cd-udgave og et 48-siders hæfte med arkivfotografier og personlige refleksioner. Den visuelle identitet er baseret på en sort-hvid typografisk komposition opbygget af bogstaverne i musikerens efternavn. Seks omslag genfortolker ét motiv og danner en modulær helhed. Emballagen er trykt i offset og efterbehandlet med mat laminering.

Inspiration
Tomasz Stanko - Polish Radio Sessions brings together 39 previously unreleased recordings from 1970-1991. The visual concept is based on the idea of a master's mark, a distilled signature of the artist. A black and white typographic composition built from the letters of his surname turns typography into form and rhythm. Six covers reinterpret one motif, forming a modular whole that reflects the tension and focus of his music.
Project Duration
The project began in March 2025 in Warsaw and Lodz and was completed in October 2025 in Warsaw and Lodz. The box set went on sale in November 2025.
Operation Flow
