The PSB vs Mark Farrow Design

The Pet Shop Boys have always been very interested in the artwork and design for their releases. They have been working with Mark Farrow , who designed the cover of their first Parlophone release in 1985.
Their record sleeves are quite often very minimal, and the attention to detail is obvious, down to the font type and style.
The collaboration between Mark Farrow and Pet Shop Boys is comparable to the designer-band relationship of Peter Saville and New Order or Neville Brody and Cabaret Voltaire.

Siggi Eggertsson

Much of Siggi Eggertsson's illustrative work relies on geometry and symmetry, fusing curvilinear shapes into pixelated, cleverly impressionistic jigsaw puzzles.
Given that he often begins an illustration with a sketch on grid paper, and adds abstraction and color later, it's no surprise that he's a fan of Frank Stella and Chuck Close.
The burst of color sometimes result in glorious pop-art wallpaper, as they do in cellphone screens he created for Yakuta Mobile Visuals last year, and sometimes fuse into concrete images, as they did in his poster of the British band Zoot Woman for the Iceland Airwaves '05 music festival.
