Fusher Design fun fashion art trends technology (page 83) I Love CDs Matt Ottdal has a series of old and new typography experiments. He decided to showcase them in his favorite format, CD covers!

And in my imagination, it would be great if each of my clients had their own music soundtrack. In that case, this is my collection" Designed by Matt Ottdal
