A golden-yellow cassette tape illustrated in a retro graphic style dominates the composition, labeled "Steel City" with "pgh" and "412" marking Pittsburgh's area codes on either side. Bold black outlines define the tape's form against a light background, while red and white circular buttons and a dark center spindle evoke 1980s analog nostalgia and regional pride. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
