Micheal C Place from Studio Build
Reference points:
- Iron Maiden - inspired by the album art but not even knowing it was graphic design just enjoyed the imagery and the link to the music.
- Motörhead - Saxon sleeve, inspired type and the logos.
- Black Sabbath - type that stand the test of time, volume 4 cover.
- Fascinated by architecture and technical drawing.
- Cramps covers
- The meteors
- Some of the design didn't influence work but released an interest.
- Neville Brody - The Face, work that inspired the way in which he wanted his graphic design to go, when tastes in graphic design became more sophisticated. Inspired by type and a lot of record sleeves. Suggests look at the graphic language by Neville Brody.
Letraset - a rub down sheet that could transfer type, very diy way to setting type. Get them through catalogues, which contains the types.
- Biggest change in work for graphic design for himself was Rod Clarke, created underground magazine, was a key point of this is what graphic design can do and be and the way in which there isn't one type of graphic design.
- Underground fed into musical interests which links design to graphics.
- 8VO we're doing similar type of things, gave him a wake up call that this is really what graphic design could do.
Vaughn Oliver -
- Big influence, still a current working graphic design.
- Designed majority of the sleeves for 4AD records.
- Collaging and using different materials to give a different alternative approach to Graphic Design.
- Big characters producing big work, doing whatever he thought was right rather than following trends.
- Cocteau Twins cover
- Marrs pump up the volume cover
Trevor Jackson -
- First design job.
- Again record cover designs.
Ian Anderson -
- Started working with in 92, analogue techniques still.
- Abstract collage aethstetic.
- Juan Atkins Cover.
- Custom typefaces developed depending on what the client needs from their type.
- Non commercial graphic design.
Calls himself
"problem solving interesting graphic designer, rather than a 'good' graphic designer"
Let's interests feed into and influence your design so your designs don't start to become dull.
