Oliver is one of the most consistently innovative and significant
graphic designers to have emerged in the last 15 years, a highly
influential member of the small group [with Neville Brody, Malcolm
Garrett and Peter Saville] that changed the face of British graphics in
the 1980s. Oliver's remarkable and unmatched oeuvre as regular designer
for London record label 4AD won him an international following among
fellow designers and also, unusually, among music fans, who savor his
emotive graphic imagery as an essential part of the 4AD experience.
Rick Poynor is the founding editor of Eye, the international review of graphic design, and contributing editor of I.D and Blueprint. His previous books include the best-selling Typography Now: The Next wave [1991] and The Graphic Edge [1993]. He lectures regularly in Europe and the US, and is a visiting professor at the Royal College of Art. |
