May 8

Neville Brody had an unusual style of design that was originally rejected by his peers. You can see his abstract use of imagery and text that gives him this ‘punk’ style of work. Throughout his designs, you can see that he doesn’t use a solid grid system throughout, reflecting that of constructivism. One design that I really enjoyed looking at was his cover for Fuse Magazine. He does a very good job at playing around with blurring images and text throughout many of his designs. His style is also unique because of the contrasting colors throughout.


Growing up with a tough childhood, Art Chantry became a very unique designer who used his past time to inspire him throughout his work. Some influences to his style include psychedelic, rock and roll, and French symbolism. One thing that I find interesting about him as an artist would be that he didn’t use a computer for some of his work. You can see a grunge feeling through his work as he plays a lot with the color black and illustrations.


Storm Thorgerson is a graphic designer, an artist, and a photographer. You can see through his work how he is successful in playing around with layers and photos. His work is creative and playful as he designs work that invites people to ask questions about. He is a renown album cover artist creating work for famous musicians. One thing that I like about his work is you can see the creativity behind each design. He plays with abnormality of placing photos in certain positions and does a good job at getting the viewers to look deeper into his designs for meaning.
