Get On Your Boots by U2
U2 tell how the idea for their album design emerged
The first thing that came about was the title of the record - No Line on the Horizon - that was there from the inception. The artwork, designed as usual by the team at Four5One, features a seascape by the Japanese artist and photographer, Hiroshi Sugimoto, who has known Bono for several years. One of his works hangs in the band’s management offices.
Shaughn McGrath from Four5One describes, “For me it inspired an atmosphere. There’s something about how all of us are deeply drawn to looking out across the sea – to the horizon – that draws strong memories and feelings of time and place. There’s also this sense in the title of removing barriers, a longing for purity and beauty and the unspoilt… a longing to return to a perfect moment.”
