“A perfect combination of image and music is the cover of Megafauna by Yoga. It complements the music so well and opens up the whole mysterious world of that great album. It features a really great photo by a photographer called Jon Edwards.”...
“My favourite album cover is Aphex Twin’s Come To Daddy (Remixed). Despite being from 1997, a very minimal style is used; there is an excellent use of Helvetica (my favourite typeface) and strong contrasting colour.

But of course, if they happen to spot something that really takes their fancy, and at the right price, they will probably buy it. So shop-window displays have a dual role: to impress by...
“Music has always played a role in what we do. We cut our teeth designing posters, albums, and merch for bands we love and continue to do so. Process-wise, it’s two-fold: we’re constantly on the hunt for new music and every project has a soundtrack that influences the work.
