Love Will Tear Us Apart Again, and again, and again...

You've seen the movie, you've got the T-shirt, bought the trainers and the re-releases – are you ready for another Joy Division-related retail opportunity? Of course you are, you need The Art Of Love Will Tear Us Apart, a poster featuring everything you ever wanted to know (and more you never knew you wanted to know) about THAT song...
The poster records all 85 cover versions of the song and maps them in relation to the original recordings by Joy Division. It's all the work of Peter Crnokrak, otherwise known as ± (pronounced 'plusminus').
There are 30, 700mm x 990mm, silk-screen prints (produced by London’s K2 Screen using white ink on GFSmith Black Plike 330gsm paper stock) available from Design Supremo at £70.00 each.
We're saving our money for the Ian Curtis Top Shop range...

Jesus. What is it with this data chart trend? How many more chart posters can the world take?
Every single student that came to see us this year had a chart of what they did on their holidays, their journey to college, how many fonts they used over a 90 day period etc etc.
Most of them were black and white too.

It's an interesting take on a classic, I like it

What is the relationship between the aesthetic of the poster and the song? Very little…the mood of the song itself is weary, depressed, aching…yet here we have a rational, organised, impersonal piece of modernist design.
Organising stuff into charts is not design, or rather the organisation of information is only one part, without the 'art' of the other part it is nothing.

I disagree with Noel's comment. The poster IS weary, depressed and aching - I would say!
