O Mundo da Sara CD and DVD Design

Role: Brand & Graphic Designer
Client: Universal Music Group
Year: 2019
Scope: Brand & Visual Identity

Complete visual identity, packaging, and fantasy worldbuilding for 'O Mundo da Sara' (Universal Music Portugal & Canal Panda), creating an imaginative multi-theme universe for a beloved children's musical star.

1. Worldbuilding for an Imaginative Musical Star

Following the massive success of family entertainment on Portuguese television, Universal Music Portugal partnered with children's network Canal Panda (Dreamia) to create O Mundo da Sara (The World of Sara). Fronted by a charismatic musical protagonist, the project was envisioned as a multi-thematic voyage celebrating curiosity, imagination, and career aspirations for young girls and boys. Transglobal designed the brand mark, album cover, and fantasy-themed lyric booklet.

Bringing Children's Songs to Life Through Immersive Thematic Worlds

Each song in the album represents a completely different imaginative world. The packaging transported kids directly into Sara's dreams—turning her into an astronaut exploring the cosmos, an adventurous pirate, a graceful ballerina, an energetic rockstar, and a brave wild-west cowboy.

2. Thematic Song Spreads & Packaging Architecture

The physical CD and DVD release was engineered as an illustrated storybook:

  • Whimsical Brand Identity: Custom pastel cloud typography for "O Mundo da Sara", accompanied by the official "Canal Panda Recommended" seal of trust for parents.
  • Illustrated Fantasy Song Spreads:
    • "In My Spaceship": Deep space backdrop with planets, stars, and Sara navigating a silver rocket ship through distant galaxies.
    • "A Perfect World": Lush green meadows with rainbows and fluttering butterflies.
    • "I'm an Adventurer" & "Pirate": High-seas galleon sailing beneath tropical palm islands.
    • "Being a Ballerina": Elegant classical stage with velvet curtains and ballet slippers.
    • "Rockstar": Electric purple stage lights with guitar amplifier and musical lightning bolts.
    • "Cowboy": Golden desert sunsets with horses and cactus landscapes.
  • Coordinated Disc Faces & DVD Authoring: Matching silkscreen prints for the musical album and full-length sing-along music video DVD.

3. Physical Production Excellence

Manufactured as a premium cardboard digipack with high-gamut CMYK printing, ensuring that the saturated pastel pinks, aquas, and golds reproduced with vibrant clarity.
