The title song of Lou Reed's album
'Set the Twilight Reeling' talks about a star newly emerging.
We tried to illustrate the metamorphosis from his
dark prince character to a new found man by utilizing
a deep blue tinted jewel case in combination with a
very bright printed portrait of Lou on the booklet cover.
Opened up, the back of the booklet, the design of the CD itself
and the tray card together form a diagram of an eclipse,
the ultimate twilight.
The typographic style inside reflects the content of the lyrics.
