VINYL PACKAGING
CLIENT: IAM8BIT
An additional Iam8bit project came my way in the form of another Nintendo soundtrack: Johto Legends. This double disc LP holds the remastered music of the original score from the Gameboy Color favorite, Pokémon Gold & Silver. Once again, I was unable to use any character likenesses so I focused on the journey through the Johto region. Taking a simple approach to the covers, the Kanji symbols for “gold” and “silver” are foil stamped boldly on the front and back. The gatefold opens up to a traditional Japanese-inspired map of Johto surrounded by the gym badges you earn throughout the game. Going along with the simple theme, the records themselves represent pokéballs through the use of split-poured vinyl!
