Goodbye Designer's Republic

[fingertrouble]

When I was young I wanted to be an artist. Or a journalist. When I was a little older and got more into music and video/print design, I wanted to work for Sheffield's Designer's Republic. Who wouldn't? Those PWEI 'Sample It, Loop It, Fuck It, Eat It' tshirts, the work for Warp, The Orb and Pulp, the videos and Wipeout video games.

Well sadly DR is no more. So long and thanks for all the artwork :-(

This breaks my heart, as they've been nearly as profound an influence on me as Peter Saville.

I like that Ian says they'll come back, though, and stay closer to their design roots.

Loved their early work.
