Good design is never neutral… It's always personal work. Sometimes we become so invested in the work we do for clients, that we feel inspired to continue the journey beyond their destination. Sometimes we’re having too good a time to want to stop… to fuck about with something beyond the constraints of the brief… and the dead time of the deadline.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘Clipper \/ MITDR SoYo’ is such a piece stretching beyond the original design for a European tour poster (itself twisted from a design to communicate and package the Dead Channel Sky album) for recent best friends forever, Clipping, into a personal multi-layered glitched head fuck of thinking too much. Over and over again for as long as possible… An undiluted first-thought for what comes after Work Buy Consume Die… To Hell With Purity. A grid free vertical improv deep dive into multi-layered multi (con)textural ever looping design starting from where we thought we’d finished… from our perspective. You can choose to see it differently… and you probably will if your graphic porn of choice is the Neo-fractal of digital art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is all the things it is, one of them being a limited edition print, produced exclusively for the 40th anniversary collection, screen-printed two-colour (pearlescent white and Sheffield steel metallic) on heavy duty black art paper, to create a finish that shifts subtly as it catches the light, revealing new layers of depth and detail.
