Release your inner sleeve designer

This “sleeve”, created as part of Flickr’s CD Cover meme, uses randomly generated data from Wikipedia,
quotationspage.com and Flickr to generate your own fantasy album cover. Type, setting: designer’s own
What’s this? A hot new cover for a band so cutting edge that you haven’t even read about them on Pitchfork yet? Or were The Languages… an unsung band from the Factory years, only to be eclipsed by the success of Joy Division? Well, OK, I admit it; it’s not a new band at all (though the name is fantastic), rather it’s my first attempt at creating a sleeve for Flickr’s CD Cover meme.
