Neville Brody

Once a student at the London College of Printing, British designer and art director Neville Brody is well known for his work in publications especially in the entertainment industry and primarily within music. Not only has he worked for high-profile magazines such as "Arena" and "The Face", Brody has also designed album covers for very successful musicians and bands, notable the legendary Depeche Mode.

Aside from publication designs, Neville Brody is also well respected for his own work and has been known to attract considerable amounts of fans to his exhibition shows, most notably in 1988 where his work displayed at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London attracted over 40,000 viewers before embarking on an international tour off the back of this positive public reaction.

Another area of which Brody is established is typography as a founding member of the London organisation FontWorks before then going on to collaborate with legendary typographer Erik Spiekermann to create the FontFont library.

From looking at a range of Neville Brody's work it is clear that he is a designer who likes to push boundaries and I adore his use of bright colours and creation of shape and form through the use of type.
