In the Design Of...

NEVILLE BRODY was born April 23, 1957 in London, England. He graduated from the London College of Printing and Hornsey College of Art. Brody is a graphic designer best known for his typography. His work can be seen in The Face and Arena magazines. He also designed record covers for Cabaret Voltaire and Depeche Mode.

Because of his work with typography, I chose to make the background using text of varying styles seen in his work. I searched for a large font , similar to the ones that he designs. I divided the text to add blocks of color to individual letters. I also changed the scale and direction of the letters, also inspired by his work. The very background in black to keep to a simplistic, but abstract design.

Band of History!

A Different Sort of Package

Every since my mom bought these tissue boxes last summer, I've really liked the design from Kleenex. The design really appeals to me because the color is bright and vibrant. I also love how if you get six individual boxes, you can make it into half a lime slice. 
The design itself is strong because it is unique. The color makes it have a summer time feel and it appeals to all ages. The design, while very visually appealing, is also very practical.
