I had the very great pleasure of putting together this article on the visual culture of music for Attack magazine.
I hold my hands up, a balanced argument it isn’t, but then I make no secret of the fact that I believe record sleeve design to be the apotheosis of #graphicdesign. And with input from 2 absolute legends of the field (#jonathanbarnbrook and #markfarrow) it really wasn’t going to go any other way…
Hope you enjoy it!
n.b. the sleeve featured is the deluxe edition of New Order’s ‘Power, Corruption & Lies’ which is based on Peter Saville’s other iconic sleeve for ‘Blue Monday’
