QOTSA is one of the few bands that T.A.Z.\u00a0had never done a poster for, the tables were immediately cleared to create something unique. Songs For The Deaf has always been a studio favorite, so the main image was created with that album in mind. T.A.Z.\u00a0revisited an older image of a female cyborg, hanging by straps, and being lubricated intravenously. The image was reworked and detailed, to achieve a stark singularity, and to get that chamber of lost souls affect that Josh multi-tracks into the grooves of Hanging Tree and Go With The Flow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/QOTSA-type-blog.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5739\" title=\"QOTSA Type\" src=\"http:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/QOTSA-type-blog.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"441\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/QOTSA-type-blog.jpeg 441w, https:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/QOTSA-type-blog-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/QOTSA-type-blog-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/QOTSA-type-blog-50x50.jpeg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 441px) 100vw, 441px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once the image was chosen, the lettering was created. Initially a 3D extravaganza was designed, but because of the vertical nature of the art, the cool letterform had to be killed, and was replaced by something that allowed the art to show through \u2013 thus the spaceport neon lettering was decided on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/QOTSA-original-design-blog.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5745\" title=\"QOTSA Original Background Design\" src=\"http:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/QOTSA-original-design-blog.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/QOTSA-original-design-blog.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/www.limitedruns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/QOTSA-original-design-blog-131x300.jpeg 131w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><em>The background just needed to be space, so it could be anything.
