Portage by Will Fisher CQ with bonus paper canoes

The album's design plays on Will’s love of the outdoors and was a good fit with the title.

The illustrations were done in india ink then coloured digitally. The back cover is based on maps usually found at provincial parks, with each song corresponding to a trail on the map.

Instead of a lyric booklet (there were no lyrics), the package included a "portage edition" paper canoe, with instructions on how to fold it.

You can see more photos of the packaging, including the illustrations before they were recoloured here:
