About the Book

Noise Graphics 1980–1990 is a noise graphics book built as an archive, not a narrative. It collects vinyl sleeve art and cassette cover design as printed evidence: rough layouts, hard contrast, and the material logic of duplication.

Across 224 pages, the book reproduces covers and related ephemera in a direct, documentary way. The focus stays on typography, collage, photocopy texture, and the small decisions that shaped underground music graphics. This is not “inspired by” noise culture—it is the visual residue of it, preserved in sequence.

Details: Hardcover, 224 pages, 17 × 22 cm. A compact reference object for anyone tracking independent graphic design, zine aesthetics, or the history of noise cover art.

Heavier or collectible editions receive an extra layer of protection. Any defects are documented on the product page—packing doesn’t hide condition, it reduces transit risk.

We ship from Germany, usually on the next business day after payment. Germany: typically 2–5 business days, EU: often 3–7 business days; international depends on destination and customs. Tracking is included for all services and is provided once the parcel is handed over to the carrier. During peak periods, transit times may extend. See the Shipping Policy.
