    Was really looking at this and was looking into the detail put into this. I was also thinking since im a graphic designer how much work was put into this every little detail. this probably was very hard to do. Anyone know who made the cover? Id like to check out more of their work.

    EDIT -
    Just found this -

    "Eminem released the artwork for Relapse through his Twitter account in 2009. Following the intensely personal arc of his work, this artwork is meant to mirror his struggle with addiction to prescription drugs. The image shows Eminem's face made out of a mosaic of thousands of pills, with a prescription drug label made out to Em by Dr. Dre.

    The entire album artwork follows this rubric, from front to back, including a tracklist that looks as if it's been ripped from a bottle of pills. Grammy Award-winning art director Julian Alexander designed and executed the concept, one that inspired many to recreate the look. —Dale Eisinger"

    My favourite cover I think. The whole concept was great, but sadly the content lacked

    This is my second favorite em cover. Right behind the the classic slim shady lp cover with Kim in the trunk of the car.
