Neville Brody is an English
graphic designer,
typographer and art director. He studied
fine art and graphics through is life but has always had a keen interest in
typography. During his time at college his tutors said his work was not good
enough for commercial use as is was too safe and not experimental enough. In
1977 the punk ere was sweeping thought London and inspired Neville Brody to
create a series of stamps with the queens head on the side and this nearly got
him kicked out but this set up his style for the future. He then moved into
creating music covers for bands. As he has a love for typography he helped
co-found the company FontWorks and designed a number of typefaces for them.
I like the pop art feel the Neville Brody puts in his work however it always
seems to have a twist and looks a bit darker. I also like the effects he puts
on his images to make them stand out from other graphic designers, however the
typefaces he has used I don’t really like much as they seem to structured for
me and I like it when they look hand draw as it adds more personality.
