I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested in Design. Saville's knack was always to be one step ahead of the game, whether it be record sleeves for New Order or books for Japanese fashion designers and this book showcases these perfectly. There are also several essays on Saville by work colleagues and critics that serve to flesh out his story, one that is, to all intents and purposes one of failure. Despite his work permeating the very world we live in (just look around at how 'designed' our environment now is), Saville's grasp on his finances has always been tenuous to say the least. Once Factory Records fell apart he lost his autonomous zone and suddenly had to search for clients willing to indulge his genius. They have proved too few and too far between. Shame that.

Peter Saville is perhaps the most influential graphic designer of his generation. Best-known for his seminal record covers for Joy Division and New Order, Saville has also art-directed catalogues and advertisements for fashion brands such as Yohji Yamamoto and Dior, and created corporate identities for Givenchy, Mandarina Duck and London's Whitechapel Gallery. More recently he has designed CDs for Pulp and Suede, and art-directed the new campaign for Stella McCartney. Designed by Peter Saville is the first book of Saville's work. Comprising design for music, fashion, advertising and art, it chronicles his work from 1978 to the present. The book includes a comprehensive interview as well as essays by style guru Peter York, critics Paul Morley and Miranda Sawyer, and design critics Rick Poynor, Emily King and Peter Hall. Saville was recently voted both 'most admired individual working in the creative industries' and 'best graphic designer' in a peer poll conducted by Creative Review. The intensity and apparent timelessness of his work has ensured that he has retained a cult status for 25 years. This book will coincide with the opening of a solo exhibition at London's Design Museum, t No library descriptions found. |
