01 / Behind the artwork

Music, friendship and a physical release.

This album belongs to the same long-running friendship and music connection as Ruffneck Intellect. I have known the friend behind these releases since our teens, and the artwork is tied to that shared history.

The front cover uses a green-lit portrait beneath a dark red cap. Inside, a crown motif and a two-page sound-system illustration give the package its own visual rhythm, with camouflage linking the rear artwork to the title.

02 / The printed CDs

The original release, up close.

These photographs show the actual printed artwork and packaging. Open any photograph to see the original sleeve details, lettering and layout.

03 / Across the package

More than a front cover.

CD artwork has several connected surfaces: the front, back, spine, inside panels and disc. Each has a different job, from setting the mood to making the track list and credits readable.

The clean presentation above brings those elements together for the portfolio. The original photographs preserve the details of the physical release.
