hi guys, i'm not sure how to post my ultravox related designs up here but i'll try so here it goes. if you would like to see more, you can go to http://s554.photobucket.com/albums/jj413...mview=slideshow - just press the full screen button at the bottom right hand side of the screen.

these posters were really just done for the sheer fun of designing and, because i wanted to show my admiration, love and respect for ultravox.

i do not plan on doing anything with these posters in any way, this is to do with copyright, respect and using the name of ultravox.

i want to do the right thing by midge, warren, chris and billy. basically, i just want to share these with ultravox as well as all my fellow ultravox fans.

i also want to say thank you to midge, warren, chris and billy, they have always been a huge influence in my life and will always remain so, thanks guys.

Wow Toni what excellent designs.

Thank you for sharing them, where can we get copies from?

Amazing Toni!!!!

Same question as Mo2W - can we get copies??

awww, thanks so much for your kind words guys, but i would probably have to get permission from ultravox themselves if, i was going to give out copies because i'm using the name of ultravox on these dummy poster designs, i would want to do the right thing by ultravox.

these posters were really just done for fun and, because of my admiration, love and respect for ultravox. i'm so glad you like them, i enjoyed designing them

Thanks for letting us see and enjoy your work and I totally understand and respect your point re copies etc., Toni.

But please make sure you let us see anymore that you create - I'm well impressed!

What are the four birds in the main poster and what do they symbolise?

I seen some paintings with four birds and callanish standing stones

thanks mandy, yeah, i just want to do the right thing by midge and ultravox. i'll be creating more ultravox designs to share with you guys.

i just really like the birds and their position within the design man of two worlds, i don't think i intended them to mean anything but now you bring it up, it's very interesting, i might look into it, i just really liked the way the birds sat in the design.

i really like your work , toni !

if peter saville isn't available to design the next ultravox cover , it would be nice to see something done by you then !

Bloomin EXCELLENT!!! LOVE the Midge Ure one - think you should do one for each! Lets see more!

Hi, Toni!

I'm trying to interpret the message/motif in this picture, and may make a hash of my interpretation, but here goes:-

The three men standing on what looks to be the exterior of an underground rail tunnel are commuters, standing patiently during their journey. One of the commuters is in shade, perhaps representing his physical or emotional disposition, unlike his 'brighter' travellers. A proportional slice of the moods of the general population?

There are four shafts of greyish beams, originating from the heavens (Where else does Ultravox's inspiration come from!). These converge into a broad band (pun intended), along with more tributaries from these commuters, who are also a metaphor for anybody interacting with Ultravox members, and influencing their lives), into a point fixed into the future: their destination.

I'm, thinking that these monochromatic bands originate from adverse personal circumstances; stress, uncertainty, anxiety, etc. These same personal circumstances can find emotional wellsprings of release, that include art. It is sometimes noted that many musicians have produced significant works during these circumstances. For example, Bob Dylan's 'Blood on the Tracks' and Richard and Linda Thompson's 'Shoot out the Lights' were produced in the background of relationship breakdowns.

So this artwork is not only indicative, and reflects the monochromatic cover of 'Vienna' and the random nature of encounters in 'Mr 'X' but is also a testament to an enduring album, and the creative energies within. Toni, if I had the choice of choosing the graphic artist for the next Ultravox album (perchance to dream!) from yourself, or the EMI in-house team, you'd get my vote.

hi giulio,

wow, that's quite an indepth interpretation, i love it giulio and thank you for being so kind in your words. ultravox mean so much to me, they are my inspiration and my muse. i'm always creating artwork based on ultravox, i have so much of it and i'm thinking of revamping some of my older pieces so when they're complete, i'll post them up.

This is cool. I have stuff I would like to show but don't know how to put a picture on here.
