Neville Brody

One Designer that I have done research into is Neville Brody who is an English Graphic Designer, typographer and art director. He studied graphic design at the London College of Printing and first made his way into the public eye through his record cover designs and his involvement in the British independent music scene in the early 1980s. He began experimenting with the beginnings of a new visual language that consisted of a mixture of visual and architectural elements. Later he was able to put these ideas into practice and to set new precedents through the innovative styling of The Face magazine. It was his work on magazines that firmly established his reputation as one of the world’s leading graphic designers. In particular, his artistic contribution to The Face completely revolutionised the way in which designers and readers approach the medium. He later moved onto typography design. His pioneering spirit in the area of typography manifests itself today in such projects as Fuse, a regularly published collection of experimental typefaces and posters which challenges the boundaries between typography and graphic design.
