Just thought I'd give a mention to the sad demise of the Designers Republic as there's a retrospective in this months Eye magazine. Like many designers, tDR have been a huge influence on my work and even my choice of career. They reinvented British graphic design in the late 80's being one of the first agencies to really explore computer technology to full effect, creating a new visual language which was always their signature and highly influential thorough out the world. Although they created a huge wealth of great work, they will always remembered for their seminal work for Warp Records and the Sheffield club seen. A sad day for designers, but the Republic will always live on.
