he is a New York based graphic designer and typographer who owns his own design firm.
Alot of his work is related to music as he has always been inspired by music, he has designed album covers for many artists including the rolling stones.
i am a big fan of his picture of his face with the words all on his face. this was an album cover for Lou Reed. it makes me immediately think that those words mean something to him specifically, and it makes me start to analyse his life and his personality.
some of his other works he uses typography and incorporates it into a background, i think placing the word Good into the tree is very clever.. however i find it difficult to realise why hes done this aswell as a few of his other works. i cant really connect with them.
the use of backgrounds and colours he uses do stand out though so i think it creates an impact on the audience which i think is important in graphic design.
Alan Fletcher
Alan Fletcher was a British Graphic Designer,
he was described by the Daily Telegraph as "the most highly regarded graphic designer of his generation, and probably one of the most prolific".
He is well known for the creation of logos, such as the V&A etc. these are now known all over the world through profile.
he had a very spirited and personal visual style.
his work on the zebra to me shows the obvious question... is a zebra white with black stripes or vise versa. which i think he has done very cleverly, he didn't even have to put the question on the page for me to interpret this.
his use of typography can be funny as well i find the wet paint sign fun to look at as the font interprets paint and colour. exactly what paint is .. dripping.
i really like his work and would like to look further into his work.
