What it contains: | The book features a wide array of artwork and articles. Written features include "gateway" stories of how fans dicovered Depeche Mode, album reviews, tour experiences and accompanying art directly conceptualized from the sounds and themes of the albums. Additionally, there is a photography gallery featuring the work of Brad Doyle, brief band-member profiles, and a guest-art section full of fan art of or inspired by the band. -------------------------------------------- |
Who contributed: | Those who contributed to the content of the book include talented artists Porku, Jaqueline Dempsey, Neolucky, kur0, Orchidett, and Wen-M! Articles were contributed by several fans including members of the BONG Mailing List. Photography by Brad Doyle is also proudly featured. I (Amanda/usaku) designed and compiled the book in addition to contributing articles and artwork. -------------------------------------------- |
Why we did it: | Because Depeche Mode is awesome! But we already knew that. Really, I don't have much musical learning under my belt, so I figured rather than curse the world with a bad cover I'd use what skills I do have to make a creative tribute to the band. |
