Peter Saville and Album Covers
Peter Saville is the unsung hero of modern day album covers. I've recently found out about him and started to admire all the things he has done. He created his first cover in 1979 for Joy Division and become an icon. Over the years he also created covers and sleeves for New Order, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and more. His ironic, minimal works work using colors and simple (sometimes complex) typography always create this feeling that it's not ordinary but it feels just like for music as music does not usually need words to describe itself. Just like from his album cover from suede - 'coming up'.One of my favorite album covers now seem like it too come from the same angle Peter Saville uses to create his own. It's a FabricLive album called 'Fabriclive 44 - commix'
