Duranduran.com first announced the name of the album on the 27 September which includes "All You Need Is Now", the first single released from All You Need Is Now which Mark Ronson described as one of his favorite Duran Duran songs of all time. During an interview on The One Show (17 November 2010) broadcast in the UK, Simon Le Bon said that Ronson wanted to make the follow up album to Rio. Clunie Reid created the cover artwork using photographs shot by Nick, after he discovered her work at the Saatchi Gallery. John Taylor added (on Katy's Kafe ) that the tracks on the album 'will make for great live music'. On 14 October 2010 Roger Taylor posted a blog on the band's official website which stated, "starting to hear final mixes coming back for our new album at the hands of the one and only Mark ‘Spike’ Stent." In November Roger Dekker photographed Duran Duran modelling shirts made especially for them by Katharine Hamnett in London for the album packaging.
