Cover

The front and back covers of the album mark the band's first collaboration with artist Felipe Taborda. The pictures, including those from the booklet, were taken by Frederico Mendes; one of them, consisting of a gallery of five pictures in which each member appears entirely or partially, was inspired by a work of his favorite photographer, Richard Avedon.^[2]^[3]

The cover shows the band members in front of a low-budget hotel called "Loves House", which was actually a brothel. To the right of the band, a transvestite could be seen by a wall.^[2]^[3]

The back cover features a picture of the band being searched by the police, with the same transvestite from the front cover to their left, smiling. The officers involved hid their IDs in order not to be punished for taking part in the simulation. On the wall right above the band, a graffiti that reads "Faço da minha vida um cenário da minha tristeza" ("I make of my life a scenery for my sadness") can be seen; it is signed by Careca (lit. "bald").^[2]^[3]
