Neville Brody

Neville Brody, the British designer and art director, has now been at the forefront of graphic design for over two decades.Initially working in record cover design, Brody made his name through his revolutionary work as Art Director for the Face 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 Brody published the first of his two monographs , which became the world's best selling graphic design book.

The above image is a cover for 'Fuse' magazine. Fuse is the internationally renowned platform for experimental design and typography.There are regular conferences that attract the leading practitioners in design and related fields. Each issue of Fuse brings together four designers or typographers and commissions each to create an experimental typeface along with a poster based upon a central theme. I am drawn in by the vivid use of colour in Brody's works and the variety of shapes ussed. Whereas in the piece bellow text has been ussed to communicate to the viewer. When i look at the piece bellow my eye is drawn to all aspects of it but mainly to the bolder words ' It allows'.
