Designer Howard Wakefield' s cover for Clash magazine that celebrate 30 years of New Order. Total Substance!

Howard Wakefield says:

"When I think about imagery and New Order, I instantly think of all the sleeves," says Wakefield of his approach to the commission, "but rather than showing a montage of them, which have been much seen, admired and recognised, I wondered how recognisable are they?" I was curious to find out," he continues, "if I reduced them in some way, could they still be recognisable? I tried blurring and distorting them, but they rapidly became something else, however by simplifying them to their basic colour elements, they appeared to remain true to their iconic designs."
