Headache City album cover/poster

Packaging, Entertainment

Using the title song's idiosyncratic, stuttering refrain “T-T-T-T-Tonite...” as the basis for a simple visual analogy of collaged typography, Superkonductor Chicago designed this silkscreen-printed cover for a 7-inch record by punk rock band, Headache City. And the whimsical poster illustration advertising a Chicago performance contains a fanciful metaphor for “headache city” through imagery of a beleaguered, hapless villain wandering a forlorn nighttime cityscape.

David R. Head, Jr., designer.

We can't think of a better way to cap off the year: For anyone who hasn't seen it already Imaginary Forces has a beautiful video tribute to Paul Rand (the founder of IF, Kyle Cooper, was a student of Rand’s at Yale) on their site. Created for his induction into the One Club Hall of Fame in 2007, in a matter of minutes it's a marvelous tutorial on design—and a delight to watch. (Thanks Sam.)
