Neville Brody is synonymous with ‘visual language’. A seminal creative director, designer, typographer, and brand strategist, he is globally acclaimed for a body of work that spans four decades. He’s renowned for pushing design boundaries and deploying innovation with a spirit of exploration and pursuit of excellence.
In the late 1970s, he came to prominence by creating iconic album sleeve designs for punk bands. Then his work as art director at The Face and Arena in the 1980s won him international fame. Since the late 1990s, Brody has produced seminal work for Britain’s most celebrated arts and culture brands, including the BBC, The Times, Somerset House, Royal College of Art, Tate, and Channel 4. His typeface Blur, designed in 1991, forms part of the permanent collection at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
Much of Brody’s recent work has been for global giants, including Samsung, Yamaha, LVMH, GAP, Uniqlo, The Coca-Cola Company, Nike, and NIKON.
This prolific contribution to design has been acknowledged by many industry bodies and organizations, including Brody’s investiture in 2011 as a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI), the UK’s highest design accolade, and a Special Commendation in the Prince Philip Designers Prize in 2010.
Brody is equally passionate about creative education and is currently Professor of Visual Communication at London’s Royal College of Art. He continues to lecture internationally and act as a spokesperson for the industry, supporting design education and promoting opportunities for the next generation.
