GRAPHIC THERAPY - INTERPOL - EL PINTOR

Graphic Therapy is back at it collaborating with the band Interpol, providing Design and Art Direction on the cover of their latest album "El Pintor" (the painter). GT's David Calderley credits the inspiration for this work with "these Deco 1930s studies of Hands that I bought years ago, they have such a beautiful and strange look about them." He was working on a merchandise collection at the time for Interpol and sent the samples over to Paul and the band as an FYI. They all loved them and suggested it be developed into a possible album cover. Once the band decided on a title, El Pintor (the painter) became a springboard for David to work with the basic shapes of design: Circle, Square and Triangle, incorporating the use of the band's signature red and black, adding some additional blue tones. Developed with a new typography "like a word game as El Pintor (Anagram for Interpol)", this cover was dutifully completed. Their new album drops today! They've also just embarked on their first global tour in 3 years.
