'It was Stanley's favourite typeface. It's sans serif. He liked Helvetica and Univers, too. Clean and elegant.' 'Is this the kind of thing you and Kubrick used to discuss?' I ask. 'God, yes,' says Tony. 'Sometimes late into the night. I was always trying to persuade him to turn away from them. But he was wedded to his sans serifs.' Tony goes to his bookshelf and brings down a number of volumes full of examples of typefaces, the kind of volumes he and Kubrick used to study, and he shows them to me.

... ?PETER SAVILLE GALLERY 1
One thing that is not in dispute is Saville's talent and the impact it has had. No other graphic designer, for example, has had quite the same effect on a city's identity. Alongside Factory Record's Tony Wilson, Saville created a dream world of images, a "Factory Utopia" for Manchester. In some strange way he persuaded other people that Manchester really was this dream place. This included people who lived in the less-than glamorous Manchester of the late 1970s and 1980s when it was still all decaying cotton warehouses and canals full of dumped mattresses.
... ?Peter Saville Graphic Design - fonts
Peter Saville was born in Manchester England in 1955, he studied, along with his friend Malcolm Garrett, graphic design at Manchester Polytechnic from 1975 to 1978. Garrett's influence on his former schoolmate (they attended St Ambrose College together) was significant. Garrett already by his second year had wrangled his way to designing for the Manchester punk group the Buzzcocks. This fueled Saville's own ambitions and influenced by a stolen library copy of Herbert Spencer's Pioneers of Modern Typography, he found inspiration in the works of Jan Tschichold, the German born book and type designer who was to become the chief propagandist for the New Typography

... ?> Grime!
Grime. Sublow. Dubstep. It's Music. Different people call it different things, depending on when they discovered it. In the 80's, maybe it was House, Techno and Electro. In the 90's it was UK-G, Drum and Bass, Breaks or whatever. Now there are so many terms for it that the journalists can’t pidgeon-hole it any more. This is a good thing - it's music. Moody music. Multifunctional, multifaceted music created by Humans with Brains, Hearts, Machines & Electricity. Music that’s great for dancing to in clubs, or submerging yourself within your headphones, your car, your home, wherever. It's instrumental dance music, but it's the perfect forum for the best MC's and vocalists. We at Rephlex call it Grime to publicise to the people at large, outside of the specialist world of it's producers. The purists might debate the name, but while they do that, crews around the globe are uniting in this strong & fresh dance movement. In this age of Information Technology, people are able to easily find real quality that they actually want, without being spoon-fed compromised product. Now, it is a time of change and the soundtrack Grime.

He writes: 'The record companies have been making a lot of noise about file-sharing and peer-to-peer software. While we certainly have our own opinions about the whole P2P question, we think it's a red herring. The record labels are afraid of the internet because they can't control it. They can't stop you from selling your work directly to your fans. You don't need them anymore ... and they know it. Peer-to-peer software isn't a cause, it's a symptom. The world is changing.'

Even if they're more enlightened about the disease, they can't help but harbor a secret, naturally human, belief that you are suffering a failure of will rather than biochemistry. Meanwhile, the doctors consider little but the neuro-soup and turn you into a shambling medical experiment, testing pharmaceutical nostrums on you that are as blunt as the mind is subtle, though just as unpredictable. But, for you, life just trudges on. It remains, despite whatever visible signs of well-being - wonderful spouse, great kids, well-located house, etc. - a purgatory of uselessness, barren of joy and meaning. Love, incoming or out-going, becomes something you think, not feel."
