my floppy disk ate my cd: retro cd packaging

January 21st, 2009 comments (4) stumble it! digg it! by: lambert v.

Web and graphic designer Adam Faja (”I pronounce it fay-juh”) and his other graphic designer friends swap compilations annually.  Adam created this sweet retro packaging for his 2008 compilation CD:

cd_in_a_floppy_1

I can’t even remember the last time I saw a 5¼ floppy. To make it even more retro, Adam printed the track list using a typewriter-like font:

cd_in_a_floppy_2

Nice. I guess we know who “won” that year for best compilation. All we need’s some Ice-T and we are breakin’.

cd_in_a_floppy_3

Pair this sleeve with the floppy CD-R and you’ll open a warp hole to the 80’s. Let’s not do that.

    Fantastic idea — I love it! Brings back memories of playing computer games back when I was 6 or 7.

    I like that you’ve given it the paper sleeve to sit in as well.

    Shame! Only one punch – 50% disk space wasted… ;-)

    When i was at the Blip Festival in New York, i got a promo CD from the DJ Dubmood exactly in this way. :)

    Loved the Idea. :)
