From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet Is Killing Our Culture (ISBN 0385520808) is a 2007 book written by entrepreneur andInternet critic Andrew Keen. Published by Currency, Keen's first book is a critique of the enthusiasm surrounding user generated content, peer production, and other Web 2.0-related phenomena.[1]
The book was written after Keen wrote a controversial essay in The Weekly Standard criticizing Web 2.0 for being similar to Marxism, for destroying professionalism and for making it impossible to find high quality material amidst all the user-generated web content.[1][2][3] The book was based in part on that essay.[1]

Total
“Endeavouring to capture the essence of Joy Division and New Order, both Peter Saville and I agreed that typography could be the link. We agreed that the Helvetica Heavy Italic from Technique, conveyed the ‘look’ of New Order, however Joy Division was predominantly uppercase. By merging the two, a TOTAL was created.
The design is a ‘nod’ to Run2’s commercial packaging; while the out-of-register CMYK references the perils of clients printing without proofs, which nowadays happens all too frequently…
I initially positioned TOTAL as large as it would fit on the cover, only for the band to say it had too much white space.
For me, the ‘O’ was the sexiest letter, the overlapping letterforms created a further Technique / Run 2 memory and funnily enough was the only letter to appear in New Order, Joy Division andTOTAL. So I decided that to reduce the white space, I would zoom into the kaleidoscopic ‘O’ and wrap the rest around.
Clients are always requesting ‘make it larger’, so here was an opportunity not to be missed. I love the irony that the final design is massive and out-of-register… yet beautiful."
