Designing for the Dead

anthony-wilson-headstone.jpg

When I leave this great world, I want my head­stone to exhibit the type of design aes­thetic that I value. Basi­cally, I want it to look exactly like this one for Fac­tory Records founder, Anthony Wil­son. It was designed by his long­time friends, Peter Sav­ille and Ben Kelly. A beau­ti­ful tribute.

    If your tomb­stone doesn’t look like that, than I fear your fam­ily doesn’t truly under­stand you, good sir.

    Paul Rand’s head­stone was designed by his friend the late Fred Troller, a great designer and artist him­self. I made the art­work for it.
