Description

Clubbed celebrates the best graphic design in UK clubs. The book features logos, posters, photography, tickets, menus, cover art, signage, lanyards, fonts and, yes, flyers from the last 35 years. The deluxe, diamond dust, hardback features a dazzling collection of never-before-published materials and a specially commissioned editorial from Bill Brewster. This beautifully conceived graphic design reference book is separated into chapters celebrating the UK’s most famous clubs and legendary nights. We celebrate the past, but also journey to the present, focusing on the most forward-thinking graphic designers working in clubs today. We start the journey in the 1980s with the Haçienda, then head off into a dizzying road journey via Mansfield, Liverpool and several points in between before alighting at the Printworks in London with some of the modern era’s best graphic design work. Many of the graphics in the book are pre-digital and internet so a lot of time has been spent scanning old transparencies, bromides and retouching physical hard copies. In some cases the graphics have been recreated from scratch down to every minute detail. The highly-produced cover features diamond dust mimicking a dark and ethereal club environment. The book features some of the best designers and studios in the world. “I have been very lucky to have played or been involved with many of the clubs in this book which not only forms part of my history but hundreds of thousands of clubbers over the last few decades. I am sure this book will serve as a trip down memory lane for many dedicated clubbers.” John Digweed
