Police People
I was reminded – as if I really get to decide what the hell crosses my mind – of the great Ferruccio Montanari, sublime graphic designer and architect from Udine, whom I met when I was working at "Arti Grafiche Furlane."
He introduced himself to me with a piece of tracing paper, some masking tape, and text in huge letters featuring the "A" of Architecture, and he said: "See, just enlarge the 'A' and place the tracing paper over it, secured randomly with the tape, so that it’s clear we’re talking about craftsmanship. Then throw it all in the repro camera and you're done."
Did you understand anything? No? Can you imagine me back then, shitting my pants just seeing God talking to me!
The result was a stunning poster, made of genius, craft, and respect for those who do the “dirty work” but need to understand it, otherwise the result wouldn’t have the same flavor (synesthesia).
And that’s the reason behind the cover of this Pat album, coincidentally, pure Free Jazz.
