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 largely through his revolutionary work as Art Director for the Face magazine. Other international magazine directions have included Arena, City Limits, Lei, Per Lui, and Actuel, together with London's The Observer newspaper and magazine. He has also designed many successful websites, including Guardian Unlimited, Britain's most popular newspaper website, and Wisden, the global cricket site. 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 and thought process. In 1988 Brody published the first of his two monographs, 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. In 1994, together with partner Fwa Richards, Brody launched Research Studios, a London-based design studio. Partner studios have recently been opened in Paris, Berlin and San Francisco, with plans to open a New York studio. Clients range across all media, from web to print, and from environmental and retail design to moving graphics and film titles. A sister company, Research Publishing, produces and publishes experimental multi-media works by young artists. The primary focus is on Fuse, the renowned conference and quarterly forum for experimental typography and communications. The publication is approaching its 20th issue, over a publishing period of more than ten years. Three Fuse conferences have so far been held, in London, San Francisco and Berlin. The conferences bring together speakers from design, architecture, sound, film and interactive design and the web. Their client list contains branding and special projects for the following clients from around the world: Express, Kenzo, Issey Miyake, Macromedia, Sony, Pepsi, Warner, Paramount, Disney, Channel4, adidas-Salomon, Nike, ORF, TF1, Gaultier, Guerlain, Armani and Ricoh. www.researchstudios.com |
