Neville Brody

Neville Brody – graphic designer, typographer

Inspiration:
Well as a teenager at London College of Print, Brody was inspired by the punk scene that was energizing London in the 70s. This era and punk music had a great impact and motivation in Brody’s work. AS you can see in his work he was inspired by Dadaism that was the anarchy of art at the start of last century. Also pop art had a part to play in his inspiration.
Some of his work:
Music: Depeche Mode, Cabaret Voltaire [album covers, badges etc], Kurtis Blow, 8 eyed spy, Zuice, Level 42

Typefaces: founded member of font works.

My thoughts:
Well most people know lots about Neville Brody and his great achievement in life. I love his taste in music with the energy of punk and his love for Dadaism as I found that era after world war one so interesting. As it anarchy art and seventy years or so later this innovative era drove Brody to push the boundries in his designs. i really like his CD cover designs which he got first noticed for as a designer. Then for his innovative artistic touch to FACE magazine which wowed people worldwide just like he has for me. making me realize to always keep my creative flow no matter where it takes me and i could create new way of designing or even a style.
