Scott King


Classic poster by Scott King for Joy Division show. The text along the bottom reads:
Joy Division, 2 May 1980, The High Hall, The University of Birmingham, England. 
You may notice some similarities between this poster and the poster i did for Something Else! Hopefully one day i can be as influential as Mr. King haha. His work neatly treads the line between subtle and subversive.

a bigger version of the poster can be seen here

Taken from Scott King's website:
"Scott King trained as a graphic designer. He worked as Art Director of i-D and Creative Director of Sleazenation magazines, for which he was awarded 'Best Cover' and 'Best Designed Feature of the Year' prizes. King occasionally produces work under the banner 'CRASH!' with writer and historian Matt Worley. King’s work has been exhibited widely in London, New York and European galleries including the ICA, KW Berlin, Portikus, White Columns, Kunstverein Munich and the Museum of Modern Art, New York."
