Artist: Neville Brody

Neville Brody is perhaps the best known graphic designer and typographer of his generation, known for his work on magazines, most notably ‘The Face.’ He first made his way into the public eye through his record cover designs for such independent record companies as Fetch, Hannibal and Phonogram Records in the 1980s.
Brody won much public acclaim through his highly innovative ideas on incorporating and combining typefaces into design. Later on he took this a step further and began designing his own typefaces, thus opening the way for the advent of digital type design.
Dadaism and pop art have largely influenced Brody’s work. Although he never sought to copy these styles, he took from them a sense of  non-acceptance of the traditional rules and values of art.

This is an artists that seems to have come a really long way in a short period of time; something that is quite inspiring to me. His work is varied and shows that he has experimented with a multitude of styles and themes. His ‘Bauhaus style’ pieces have to be my favourite such as the ‘Bounce It’ by Nike poster.
