TREY ANASTASIO “PAPER WHEELS”

GRAMMY AWARD NOMINEE 2016 . Upon listening to Trey’s album, Paper Wheels, Varnish realized that with the 12 songs building upon many of the same themes – the entire package should also have the same gestalt and feel visually layered. By creating a custom designed die-cut double gatefold package, it was possible to have 6 nested sleeves for the A/B record and 6 nested sleeves for the C/D record (for the 12 songs). This layering allowed every element from the record’s paper label to the 6 sleeves and the container of the gatefold to all be visible simultaneously creating that “one from many” look.
