Limited edition CD cover for Icelandic musician Johann Johannsson´s 'Copenhagen Dreams'.

Handmade tour release CD for the soundtrack to the film 'Copenhagen Dreams' (Drømme i København) by Max Kestner.

The idea to make a special tour edition was born out of necessity, after the print of the regular album release went wrong. The initial cover had been produced at a low cost printer abroad, but the print didn't turn out as expected and couldn't be used. There was no time for a reprint – the musicians where just about to go on tour and needed the CDs. Therefore, a quick and cheap alternative solution was needed, and we decided to make a small special edition by hand.

First step was an simple uncoated sleeve, with only little text, printed digitally. We then applied colour by using a rubber roll – mixing it on a glass plate and then rolling directly on the pre-printed sleeves. The blending of colours on the glass plate changed constantly, and the print marks from the roll turned out differently every time. In this way, each cover had a unique colour print.

Number of prints: 150
