Lacoste, Raf Simons, Joy Division, Supreme, Adidas and more by Peter Saville ⛰️ 🐊 Peter Saville is a 70 year old graphic designer based in England. He began his career creating record sleeves, eventually creating the label ‘Factory Records’ and signed Joy Division, it was the creation of their iconic album cover for “Unkown Pleasures” which turned Peter into a graphic design icon. That design, featuring a series of white waveforms on a black background, is now one of the most recognizable and enduring images in popular music history. Interestingly, the image is a data visualization of the radio emissions from a pulsar (specifically, CP 1919), which Saville found in The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Astronomy. The band had chosen the image themselves, and Saville presented it in a stark, minimalist format with no band name or album title on the cover, something almost unheard of at the time. Saville’s design sensibility was heavily influenced by modernist art and European graphic design (like Jan Tschichold and Josef Müller-Brockmann), which he brought into pop culture via Factory Records. His work for Joy Division and later for New Order (which formed after Ian Curtis’s death) helped shape the visual identity of post-punk and synth-pop. These design tropes went on to heavily influence streetwear culture and modern music. Brands like Supreme and Raf Simon’s regularly licensed his artwork to print on their clothing. Virgil Abloh and Kanye West heavily referenced Savilles style in the creation of the iconic “Yeezus” album cover. And of course, Lacoste hired him in 2013 to design their best polo shirts of all time. He’s a graphic design icon.

so many things I’ll unpack here👇🏼 This message reveals a lot about what is happening to designers right now: → companies confusing producing design artifacts with actually doing design → AI being used as a justification for organizational decisions that are much more complex than “the machine can do your job now” → the erosion of professional confidence when your expertise is suddenly framed as replaceable → how deeply work, identity and self-worth get entangled, especially after years spent becoming good at something → the brutal gap between knowing you have value and wondering whether the market will still recognize it → the psychological cost of layoffs that we barely talk about while everyone debates productivity and AI adoption → and the uncomfortable reality that our profession is changing, while the discourse around that change often lacks any humanity I don’t think pretending nothing is happening helps designers. But I also don’t think reducing design to “AI can make screens now” comes remotely close to describing what designers actually contribute. There’s a human being on the other side of every “efficiency” decision. And sometimes the hardest part after a layoff isn’t finding the next job. It’s rebuilding your own understanding of your worth after someone made you question it. I’ll do a reel next about AI layoffs + how to cope when this happens to you, because I think we need to talk about this much more openly. ❤️‍🩹
