Research Task.

For the research task we were told to look at an artist or a group of artists that have inspired us, I have chosen Neville Brody and Peter Saville, these artists were first bought to my attention during college when a tutor recommended I looked them up for a typography task.

Neville Brody.

Neville Brody is a British graphics designer and as done projects for clients such as Macromedia, The Times Newspaper and Computer Arts Magazine.

I like his designs as they stand out and are always cleanly layout, I am a fan of bold colours but they have to be used in the right way and well thought out as there are a lot of designs out there that have used bolder colours but look untidy and unpleasing on the eye, the design above shows good use of more vibrant colours well and it works well with the simple white background.

Peter Saville.

Peter Saville is well known for his work in typography, one of his most famous designs was the record sleeve for Blue Monday by New Order, below, this piece of work is very modernist and is very simple but works very well.



The way that he uses simple but effective designs is clever as it will stand out amongst other designs as it strikes your eye as it is so simple and isn’t jumping out you with lots of elements fighting for attraction.
