Hand-drawn type and hand-cut paper make When Pigs Fly a delicious pork product of some kind. Unwrapping this package reveals an assortment of delicacies for the Kickstarter supporters to feast on. Good music and good design? When Pigs Fly!
When Pigs Fly is hip-hop duo A.Dd+’s (spoken aye-dee-dee) debut album, partially funded through Kickstarter. As a reward for our Kickstarter supporters, we wanted to create a limited edition, custom physical package that tied into the theme of the album (When Pigs Fly represents overcoming the impossible) and served as a keepsake more memorable than the usual machine-made digipak. Every piece of paper, including the flying pig, was hand cut, and the entire package (minus the black envelope) was assembled by hand.
