Some work news. I finished this CD design<\/a> last year but, as is often the case with these things, it’s taken a while to make its way into the world. This was the final piece of the Mindscape of Alan Moore<\/em><\/a> project and it’s probably the last thing I’ll do which makes use of the famous Sigillum Dei Aemeth<\/a><\/em> of Doctor John Dee (1527\u20131608), wax versions of which can be seen in the British Museum<\/a>. Alan Moore is a great Dee aficionado and since the sigil appears in the DeZ Vylenz documentary it made sense to use it for the DVD package and interface<\/a>. This led in turn to a new poster design<\/a> for the film (below) and\u2014eventually\u2014the soundtrack CD. The latter should be shipping shortly from Shadowsnake Films<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly, and also design-related, the New York Times<\/em> this week had a short piece about designer Barney Bubbles<\/a> based around Paul Gorman’s Reasons to be Cheerful<\/em><\/a> book. My quote about Barney’s Hawkwind work being “cosmic Art Nouveau” was borrowed from the book’s text and the piece features one of those slideshow selections the NYT does so well. Once again it’s great to see how Paul’s book is stimulating new interest and appraisal of work which was neglected for far too long.<\/p>\n
