Artwork
The albums artwork, by design studio Kiosk, was revealed on 3 July 2008. According to Yorkshire newspaper The Star, the artwork was based around a double decker bus in a Meadowhall car park, however the final artwork show does not involve this. Kiosk's creative director, David Bailey, points out that a double decker bus was only used for one of the images in the CD booklet. He goes on to describe the final artwork as '...a mixture of sci-fi sub/urban Britain and the presence of absence'. On the artworks for both album This Is A Fix and single "Steve McQueen" parts of the photographs have been deliberately obscured by black shapes. This stemmed from idea of making people think about whether its something that's been deliberately removed, or whether its covering something up, tying in with the albums themes of media manipulation.
