TOTAL | Designed by Peter Saville
Peter Saville and and Howard Wakefield of design studio ParrisWakefield have collaborated on the artwork of a new compilation of music by Joy Division and New Order called TOTAL, due for release on June 6 from Rhino. They used Helvetica Heavy, capitalized. Initially they wanted TOTAL to appear as large as possible on the cover, but after the band decided there was too much white space, they settled on this design. NO, I’m not loving this cover. It looks a little generic and 90s for bands that were experimental in their time.
Here are some better Peter Saville and Howard Wakefield album covers from the past…. Love.
