I am Jason Malmberg and I'm a graphic designer and I make things out in Sacramento, California. I have been fortunate over the past 20 years to design all kinds of stuff: apps, games, books, magazines, websites and much, much more. When I design gigposters or really anything to do with music I do it under the name Decabet (pronounced deh-kuh-bet).
For almost 15 years I have been designing gigposters, record covers, party flyers, and even branded several large music festivals. Born and raised in Omaha, I have called Sacramento and Northern California my home since 1999. My skills run the spectrum from collage to photography to illustration with a heavy emphasis on color and typography.

I was inspired by a friend's Facebook thread about underrated late-period R.E.M. albums to create a ranking of the band's album covers. Aesthetically. A ranking covering all their studio recordings from 1982 to their breakup in 2011.
The ranking doesn't include compilations or live albums, although I am including Dead Letter Office because that one feels "of a piece" to me in spite of being assembled from various recordings for various purposes throughout the band's first 5 years.This ranking also does not focus on the quality of the albums themselves except where it is informed by and matched by the cover and how well those ends are served aesthetically.
