Arkitip has a new video interview with Peter Saville, the great Mancunian designer. It shows the mock-ups of Unknown Pleasures, the first Joy Division album, where the famous diagram of an image of a pulsar, taken from the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy, had originally been rendered as a three-dimensional model (see right). Moreover, the a couple of versions of the said model still exist.

  1. Glad that you liked my photograph enough to use it for your post. Nonetheless, I would have liked to have been informed beforehand. I gladly give permission for use my photos but I like to know where there being posted.
    Anyhow, thanks for the credit and links.

    On the Arkitip article: I suppose you know that there’s also the special Saville edition magazine available. If not, you can see it here .
