Eminem's "Relapse" Packaging is 'Lethal'


Something I thought of which was similar to the "Spiritualized" packaging John showed us in Lecture 1.

Eminem prescribes his to listeners to his history of drug-use with the packaging of album "Relapse".
The front cover being a face made from a pill'ed collage, the in-lay representing the interactive medication tub feel, and a back cover artwork in a prescription form layout style.

Known as the album when he was at the last stage of fighting his addiction, I think the message is to let the audience know why he's been so angry over the years... The aesthetics of the album are as if you're going through the stage of his life with him, a key selling point.
