Graphic designer - Central Station Design

Central Station Design is a Mancunian company which was heavily linked to Factory Records and the Madchester scene. The company were most known for creating album covers, mostly for the Happy Mondays. The album cover they created for the 'Madchester Rave on E.P' became became very iconic for this movement.

I like this design due to the all black background and the contrast of the how colours contrast with the black background

I like this design because the bright and colourful effect it has and how it stands out, i also like the 70-80s feel about it.

With this cover i like how all the writing reiterates the title of the cover and how they all overlap eachother, also the variety of colours is also very effective

Peter Saville (born 9 October 1955) is an English art director and graphic designer. He came to fame for the many record sleeves he designed for Factory Records, of which he was a director. Saville designs many unique record sleeves which would fit my magazine due to the individuality of his work which links with the indie side of the magazine.
