This is the cover art for Joy Division’s debut album Unknown Pleasures, which was released on June 15, 1979. Over the years, the image has been remixed and reinterpreted in pop culture, adapted countless times as T-shirts, running shoes, oven mitts and internet memes.
The design is inspired by a “stacked plot” of the radio emissions given out by a pulsar, a “rotating neutron star”.
Link to the podcast where the designer explains the origin and the meaning of the design.
I think a movie poster of one kind because it has to capture the main theme without resorting to flat out saying what it’s about. So I always enjoy looking at movie posters, both before and after watching the movie.
Whenever I need some design inspiration, I like going through minimalist movie posters. Although they may not be best for those who have not watched the movie yet, they always capture something essential about the movie in a very clever way.

Working only with black and white for our project 1.1 reminded me of the artist Adam Pendleton.
Adam Pendleton is a conceptual artist from Richmond, Virginia, and his practice ranges from painting, silkscreen, collage, video and even performance. He is a young artist still in his 30s, but his works have been acknowledged and were shown in MoMA, the Whitney, the Tate Modern and many other places. He was also featured twice in Forbes’ 30 under 30 list.
His works rearrange words, forms and images and provoke reflections on cultural movements of the past like Dadaism and the Black Arts Movement. In his exploration of social cultural movement, he defined the term “Black Dada,” which he explains to be “about radical juxtapositions, i.e. bringing voices together in a way that disrupts easy logic and established history.”
