Design: Tony Wilson & Peter Saville In Conversation

If I could listen to anyone discuss the classic Factory sleeves it would be Peter Saville and Tony Wilson so lucky for us someone got the two of them together with a tape recorder between them. Here we have two old friends fondly looking back over their work and discussing the myths and truths associated with it, running through their beginnings together with an early poster for one of the Factory nights through Joy Division and New Order sleeves and on.

Design: Tony Wilson’s Gravestone

Feels kind of weird writing ‘Design: Tony Wilson’s Gravestone’ but I guess that’s where it fits in. I meant to post this a while back but here’s a fitting tribute from Peter Saville and Ben Kelly for their friend Anthony Wilson which, in classic Factory style, arrived three years late. The black granite headstone carries a quote, chosen by Wilson’s family, from The Manchester Man. Click here to see more images and information at the Creative Review site.
