click these words for a animated version…yes, animated
Artist: The Heavenly States
Release: Delayer
Label: The Rebel Group
Designer: Masanori Christianson
Release Date: early 2008
The album art is printed on 21.25lb. vellum that allows you to see the printing on front and back and creates an amazing layered effect when the booklet is closed.
Layered indeed. It’s ideas like this that keep the printed medium alive in the MP3 Age. Check the animated image to see how it looks as the layers stack together, kind of like those transparent pages of anatomy paintings found in medical books.
EDIT:
Here is a large image of the actual individual pages themselves.
