CHINZA DOPENESS:
ALBUM COVER + CD

5 x 15.75 inches // Pack, Insert, Disc // 2009

100% Rap is the debut album from Japanese rapper Chinza Dopeness, released by Wieden+Kennedy's independent record label W+K Tokyo Lab. The CD package design incorporates retro hip-hop style illustrations by Ayako Hishinuma (requested by Chinza), and my own vector-based icons and disc design.

The icons, which appear aside the track list on the exterior, and as a transparent varnish layer on the interior of the tri-fold pack, act as a code matching elements in the "box hair" illustration to specific album tracks.
