The deluxe packaging for Jay-Z and Kanye West's album "Watch The Throne" was designed by acclaimed designer Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy. The packaging opens into a gold, cross-shaped sleeve printed with Tisci's patterns. It also includes an 18-panel poster with Tisci's artwork and lyrics. Tisci's design for the special edition black CD channeled his aesthetic of symmetry, light and dark elements, and 3D effects. His recognizable motifs of geometric prints and surreal religious imagery factored into the gilded and symmetrical design of the Watch The Throne packaging.
