RESEARCH.... Neville Brody

Neville Brody (born April 23, 1957 in London) is an English graphic designer, typographer and art director.
Neville Brody is an alumnus of the London College of Communication and studied at Hammersmith College of Art under Ruskin Spear (alumni include Glenn Tutsell, Michael Peters and Howard Milton) and is known for his work on The Face magazine (1981–1986) and Arena magazine (1987–1990), as well as for designing record covers for artists such as Cabaret Voltaire and Depeche Mode.






He was one of the founding members of FontWorks in London and designed a number of notable typefaces for them. He was also partly responsible for instigating the FUSE project an influential fusion between a magazine, graphics design and typeface design. Each pack includes a publication with articles relating to typography and surrounding subjects, four brand new fonts that are unique and revolutionary in some shape or form and four posters designed by the type designer usually using little more than their included font.





Initially working in record cover design, Brody made his name largely through his revolutionary work as Art Director for The Face magazine. Other international magazine and newspaper directions have included City Limits, Lei, Per Lui, Actuel and Arena, together with the radical new look for two leading British newspapers the The Guardian and The Observer (both newspaper and magazine) Brody has consistently pushed the boundaries of visual communication in all media through his experimental and challenging work, and continues to extend the visual languages we use through his exploratory creative expression. In 1988 Thames & Hudson published the first of two volumes about his work, which became the world's best selling graphic design book. Combined sales now exceed 120,000. An accompanying exhibition of his work at the Victoria and Albert Museum attracted over 40,000 visitors before touring Europe and Japan.





i really like Neville Brody illustration work and i think fits in great with this project. His work is very simple and you can see that hes also built up layers like were doing within his work.The simplicity of his work makes it really stand out from others. I also really like the way he has used his colours in his work his work is almost like the Russian Constructivism only using colours like red,white and black to make it stand out.
