02_Perspective_Special Edition of Hard Rock Cafe.





Graphic Design_
_The main claim of Hard Rock Cafe is "LOVE ALL - SERVE ALL".  
_I choose this reference and changing "serve" by "listen"
an action with reference to music experience.​​​​​​​

_El claim princial de Hard Rock Cafe es "LOVE ALL - SERVE ALL".
_Escogí estareferencia y cambie "serve" por "listen"
una acción relacionada con la experiencia musical.

Different from traditional plastic CD cases, the designer chose wood and made a pick-shaped case.
In addition to being a nod to the material with which guitars are made,
wood allows offering new connotations such as touch, smell and sight.

To be specific, as the design is engraved and burnt on the wood,
there are a unique texture and a differential smell.
Also, the wooden pick-shape arouses a desire to feel and touch.






Materials_                                  
_2 pieces of de DM wood de 3mm / 2 piezas de madera Dm​​​
_6 neodymium magnets de 1 mm / 6 imanes de neodimio 

How it's made_
