45rpm Single Cover

Right Click Save Edition

After the minimal week was over (which included the 45rpm, 33.333rpm and 78rpm works) I created pieces to be given as "Air Drops" to owners of 45rpm. These are the album covers that are supposed to go over the 45rpm ringle.

This single cover is based on the cover design for OMD's English Electric by Peter Saville and Top Skipp. This project is a simple deconstruction of the elements in that design, which are reconstructed and expanded in code. A thought experiment in "what if this cover, but done with code?"

Instructions

=======================================

Print size is square.

Keypresses

'f' - Toggle 'full' sized album cover
'h' - toggle high resolution
's' - save PNG file

Printing

The high resolution image outputs at 8,192 x 8,192 pixels.

Print 27.3" x 27.3" at 300dpi Print 69.4cm x 69.4cm at 300dpi

Add ?forceWidth=xxxx where xxxx is the pixels size you want. For example to print at 100cm high, the width would need to be 100cm. 100cm in inches is 39.37" at 300dpi = 11,811 pixels width. So using ?forceWidth=11811 and downloading will give you an PNG large enough to be safely printed at 1 meter height.
