I finally completed a project i'd been contemplating for a while. With some IDL ingenuity, i wrote an interface to semi-automatically extract the actual data that is plotted on the cover of Joy Division's classic album Unknown Pleasures. This gave me a 2D array that can be considered an elevation map, which i then rendered using a surface shading technique. This gives something close to what Peter Saville did on the cover of his graphic art compendium Designed by Peter Saville. Now i'm speculating on where i should go next, seeing as i have the source data at my beck and call now.

Yes, i can hear it now ... loser!
