Ray Bartok
The first step was to find a band which had no real graphic existence.
This I found in Ray Bartok.
When you ask them what Ray Bartok is, they answer by a list of all their influences (from Raymond Queneau to Bela Bartok, through Neil Armstrong, The Cramps, Kid Koala, Sergei Prokofiev and many more).
I wanted to give this definition a graphical existence by mixing a bunch of visuals references. Thus, I used at the same time abstract vocabulary found on the covers of classical music records from the middle fifties, the DIY punk music style and the sobriety of electro music.

The No Panic EP contains nine tracks. Each one is identified by a letter/symbol of the band's name.
The sleeve holds a poster which also acts as a booklet. It shows all the information, lyrics and credits. According to the way you fold it and put it in the sleeve, the title of the track will be revealed.
