Butterfly in the Sky - Official Soundtrack
If you grew up with Reading Rainbow, the theme song likely holds a special place in your heart. The Octopus Project’s cover, featuring The Flaming Lips, is sure to evoke fond memories. The two-disc soundtrack for Butterfly in the Sky is a delightful blend of innovative, textural, and hypnotic sounds.
To capture the magic of both the film and its music, we created this whimsical, custom-designed LP package as an extension of the film’s title sequence. The pop-up interior of the gatefold is a charming nod to the beloved tradition of children’s books, adding a playful and nostalgic touch that brings pure joy.
From the vibrant illustrations to the holographic foil accents, splatter vinyl, and an obi strip complete with a removable bookmark, each detail comes together to create a richly immersive experience for vinyl collectors everywhere.
A whimsical and joyful album you’ll want to have in your collection.

As project lead, I guided this package design from concept to completion, handling creative direction, artwork oversight, die-cut planning, popup testing, and foil and splatter color selection. I worked closely with the manufacturing team, record label, band, and designers to keep everything on track while managing all the fun detailed bits along the way.
