Maxi-singles have been a visual reflection of each era, and this book explores how they have captured artistic and cultural movements through their visual identity.
From the energy of British pop with The Communards and the raw punk sound of Blondie in the ’70s, to the hip-hop rhythms of De La Soul and Moby’s electronic beats, this anthology brings together pop, minimalism, hyperrealism, electronic music, and all the artistic and musical trends that have shaped three decades.
A must-have for designers, music lovers, and cultural visionaries, this book is a testament to the power of design to create culture.
