I’ve
always
felt
the way raw emotion was expressed through the imagery, the absolutely eccentric — but somewhat clean in the same way — typography used and it’s inspiring juxtaposition, I’ve always felt this was a true art, much like the music itself.
The
typography
was
so far ahead of its time. No one else was playing with these font structures, these text juxtapositions, these raw sketched out images. If you look at some of the font-galleries / archives around on the internet now days, you’ll see quite a lot borrow some, if not all, of the original design concept of the ‘punk print media’.
What
do
you
mean by “punk rock media?” Mostly what I’m talking about is the only resource these kids (and adults) had at the time; Paper, inks, and a copier. Most people, and certainly not those who were saying fk you to the establishment, owned a computer. There was no creating amazing effects by spending 5 minutes or so clicking some keys around in Photoshop. It was simple, non-apologetic, and raw. Some of the best aspects of art on stationary and in motion.
