HAM EP
The first EP released by dutch rap formation "aluminiumboiz", the titel HAM is a abbreviation of the sentence HARD AS A MOTHERF*CKER. With this in mind I've designed a speedometer that reaches the speed of 420, the code for smoking cannabis.

EVOLUTION & ITERATION
A great design comes from iteration and evolutions, to create the cover of the HAM EP I've made multiple different versions. With each and every step you take new possibilities start to emerge within a design, creating new and better options.

HUILEN EP
The second EP from aluminiumboiz, called the HUILEN EP which translates to "crying" is the oposite of the HAM EP, it reflects on the gloomy days. To reflect that into a visual image I've created vision straighti out of a distorted dream, a comfortable numbness within a disintegrating emptyness.

RGB vs. CMYK
To make sure that the contrast of the original cover design for the release didn't change when creating the physical copy, I've experimented with printing the cover and changing some value's of excisting layers - but also creating new layers. So that I could achive a physical versions that stayed true to the design made for a digital enviroment only.

SHIRTS
For the promotion of the aluminiumboiz I've also created t-shirts with the logo on top. The idea behind a design this simple was to focus on the promotion of the rap group and to have a easy but also straight forward wearable product.

To create a physical form of a digital product I've created multiple tests to make sure the final product stayed true to the colors and vision of the original product. This required different prototypes.

In the end I created a cheap but unique design and package for the release of the HAM and HUILEN EP by aluminiumboiz. I did find some small design and spelling mistakes at the end which did bum me out.

Creating the design for the package was in my opinion the most interesting part of this case. However, in the future I must pay more attention in the progress to elliminate such small errors.
