SLEEVE ART OVERVIEW: "Already prominent in NEW ORDER's early singles "Procession" and "Everything’s Gone Green," Saville turned to Italian futurism, and specifically Fortunato Depero’s poster for the 1932 exposition "Futurismo Trentino" for inspiration. Clean lines and strong typography had been visible from 1979’s "A Factory Sample," but here Saville imbued each stroke with veiled meaning, subtly adapting Depero’s design. Putting the album’s FAC. 50 matrix number front and centre, the cover is built around the "F" for Factory and "L," Roman numeral for 50, the light blue background of the UK release chosen by the band."

'Following Ian Curtis’ death, the remaining members of Joy Division formed New Order, taking the post-punk sound from Joy Divison but implementing more modern electronic sounds. Their debut album Movement designed by Saville directly references Italian Futurist artist Fortunato Depero and the poster for a 1932 exhibition Futurismo Trentino.

Saville thought that the names Movement and Futurism went hand-in-hand since Futurism celebrates the idea of energy, speed and modernity which relates nicely with this new style of music from the band.'
