The Beatles, 1972 Tadanori Yokoo was one of the dominant figures, if not the dominant figure, in Japanese design starting in the Sixties. Some people liken his work to Andy Warhol but I scarcely see that, unless you’re talking about general importance and influence, in which case I can’t judge. I think Richard got it right last year when he invoked Milton Glaser, Seymour Chwast, and Peter Max, particularly Max. In addition to his (usually) symmetrical, DayGlo, ligne claire works, Yokoo also did a good number of rock-related graphics. The funny thing is that they’re in a completely different photocollage style—you can tell it might be by the same person but aside from that, they’re not too similar to stuff like this. I find all of these images delightful and fascinating. They’re trippy and detailed with a strong design sense, and the use of photos prevents them from flying off into the ether. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, 1972 Cat Stevens, 1972 Santana, 1974 Earth, Wind, & Fire, 1976 Tangerine Dream, 1976 The Beatles, Star Club, 1977 Earth, Wind, & Fire, 1993 Aa a bonus, here’s Tadanori’s cover for Miles Davis’ 1975 album Agharta.
**Album cover art** is often considered to be one of the "extincted" fields in modern graphics design. In times when digital copies are cheaper and quicker to get, album covers have somehow lost their importance as less and less customers actually buy CDs and LPs in the stores. That's a pity because album covers can be extremely expressive and convey the message of the album in a number of creative ways. This post attempts to prove exactly that.
We'll be honest, there's a solid chance this book is going to be ripped apart within minutes. We don't mean it's scented like Snausages and your dog is going to get at it, we mean you're going to want to rip each poster right out and plaster it to your wall like you were a 13 |
The L.A. duo's second album seems to be reporting from three simultaneous decades of rock history. But having a great record collection and having some idea what to do with it are two different things, and on W**e Are The Ambassadors Foxygen have internalized enough of the music they love to start toying with it.
I've been told not to judge a book by its cover, but when the cover has a title like "Images You Should Not Masturbate To", it's hard not to. Whether intentionally funny or just completely oblivious, here are some of the worst book titles we've ever seen.
This is not a conventional review. I don’t do that. Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate …
