In a two part series beginning at the Criterion blog and continuing on his own site, Eric Skillman breaks down part of the process of designing Criterion’s recently-released edition of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Berlin Alexanderplatz (which was purchased for me as a Christmas gift, but which has still not arrived via Amazon, much to my frustration). Skillman begins with the image above, and breaks down each step along the way to the final cover image, which you can find here.
