THE ARCHIVE 2005-2009

Neville Brody a British designer and art director, has been at the forefront of graphic design for over two decades. Initially working in record cover design, Brody made his name through his revolutionary work as art director for Facemagazine. In 1988 Brody published the first of his two monographs, which became the world's best selling graphic design book.

He has a natural desire to draw and always knew he wanted to be an artist. He considers himself a fine artist. Inspiration has come from society and painting is the underbelly of all design. It is the natural form, according to him.

I think that Debbie Millman is a decent radio talk show host but at the same time I feel that she is kindof intimidating to the people that she is having conversations with. Although it is really difficult to hear her speak and the person she is interviewing speak, I can tell that she is really interested in finding a solution, whatever it may be and trying to dig deep into finding answers to whatever the person she is talking to is speaking about. Debbie wants to find out the personality and the process that the designers she talks to go through to get to where they are today. It seemed to me that she is struggling with finding the difference between an artist ad a graphic designer. Overall, she is interesting to hear and listen to.
