Perfect Packaging
Posted by: Keech on 7th Sep 2009 in Design Top 5
Five of the best 1980s album covers.
1. Power Corruption and Lies
2. Rain Dogs
3. Meat Is Murder
4. Off The Bone
5. Uprising
1.
New Order, Power Corruption And Lies
1983 - Factory Records
Sleeve design: Peter Saville.
Just when you think you are looking at an old master (Fantin-Latour, 1890 to be precise) you notice the irreverantly technical print colour coding top right. But there's more to the coding than that as the owners of this album will know.
