After many months of hard work, both by myself and web designer Rob Bevan,
Hitsville UK, a detailed review of the development of UK punk and graphic
design in the wider regions of the UK, is finally online. The site, based on
successful exhibitions in Southampton and London during 2007, includes a
range of free download material, punk links, and an interactive matrix
displaying UK punk seven inch single sleeves by region between the years
1976 to 1984. It also details design elements and plays short sound samples
of each record. To explore, go to:-

The website pays tribute to the vast range of seven inch singles which came
under the banner of 'punk' between 1976 and 1984. It aims to show new
perspectives on the development of graphic styles and regional variations in
punk identity away from the major metropolitan centres, and beyond the 'key'
designers of the period who feature in a range of art and design histories.
