“We designed this poster to celebrate the 15th birthday of The Haçienda.” Farrow explains, “We had no idea at the time that it would be the club’s last. The code 51 15 25 05 97 (Fac 51 is 15 on 25 05 97) was printed in a reflective ink onto a grey background which rendered it almost invisible in daylight. The poster only came to life at night under the glare of car headlights. Our reasoning being that the message was only important to people who were out after dark.”

Mark Blamire, also known to friends and colleagues as Blam, was born in Carlisle 1969. Having graduated from Newcastle College in 1991, he went on to serve his design apprenticeship at Stylorouge. In 1995 he flew the nest and started freelancing work within the music industry. Two years later, he went on to form the successful partnership Groupe which later disbanded and in early 2000 he formed his own design studio, Neue. Shortly afterwards, he became one of the co-founders of Simple Records, where he remained as creative director for a further two years. During the second half of 2005, Blam took a departure from commission based Graphic Design to concentrate all of his passion and energy into a new concept called Blanka. Blanka is both an online gallery and permanent visual archive devoted to celebrating the very best in creative communication and print on an international stage. It is an open and enthusiastic co-operative of people from all creative disciplines expressing themselves through exceptional, innovative and inspiring printed art. Blam lives and works in Chobham, Surrey with his wife Sharon and son Jack. His passions are his family, Graphic Design, posters, print and Carlisle United.
