Concept Idea_
_Special edition's package based on a "guitar pick", element, related to the world of music,
easily identifiable by anyone regardless of their nationality.

fácilmente identificable por cualquier persona sin importar su nacionalidad.
What's unique?!

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.

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.
