Chapter 9 - Pop

U2's 9th full length release and possibly their most provocative to date, sees the boundaries pushed even further than before.

What U2 could look like and what they could sound like was challenged yet again, and possibly for the last time.


Firmly in the digital age of design, yet its biggest influences were from the Pop Art movement, the design policy for 'Pop' was born out of 'what would Warhol or Liechtenstein do with a computer?'.


With a highly elaborate tour programme release alongside a stage show that fed back into the sleeve design, there is plenty to talk about in our penultimate episode.


Got questions for Steve?

Ask him anything and we'll answer your questions on the finale.

Chapter 7B - Zooropa

Vorsprung durch technik .. or 'Advancement through technology'.


'Zooropa', U2's 8th record, is effectively a companion release for 'Achtung Baby' that sprung out of the Zoo TV and Zooropa tour.


This release holds great significance to our story. It is the first time the computer finds its way into the design studio and thus the first digital record sleeve that Steve art directed. It marked the dawn of a new era of design.


In this shorter chat, we talk about Zooropa and the wide gamut of merchandise in the campaign including the Propaganda magazine, U2's own dedicated publication.
