Peter Saville rose to prominence in the 1980's for his record sleeve designs for the company "Factory Records" where he created advertising for heavily successful artists/bands of the era including New Order, Joy Division, Roxy Music and Wham!.
Above is a collection of some of Saville's world famous sleeves (Including Peter Gabriel, Pulp and Ultravox).
As a huge fan of music, especially music from the 1980's, I have come across Peter Saville's work many times. What I love most about Saville's work is that there is no particular "style" to it and that each album art is different, for example from the above images it is hard to believe that they are all created by the same designer (from the simple photography of one to the heavily designed and complex approach of another). There seems to be little consistency and correlation of any kind between each of his work which I find very interesting as it's almost like the "identity" is focused on the band for which he is designing rather than himself/his designs.
