Peter Saville

Peter Saville studied Graphic Design at Manchester Polytechnic from 1974 to 1978. Alongside his obsession with the music of Roxy Music and Kraftwerk, and with the photography of Helmut Newton and Guy Bourdin, the book Pioneers of Modern Typography by Herbert Spencer (1969) and the manifesto Die Neue Typographie by Jan Tschichold (1927) were the most important influences on Saville at that time. They remain, even today, standard works on typography. Saville's friendship with fellow student Malcolm Garrett, who had begun designing album covers for the Buzzcocks in 1976, was also of great significance. Unusual for the time, however, was Saville's insistence on recalling a historical consciousness of graphic design. His concern to present products graphically, and thus permit the flow of a visual "Zeitgeist" ran in blatant contradiction to the established teaching methods of the institutions, steeped in the spirit of the 1970s, which regarded graphic communication as time and context free.

Peter Saville has a alot of verity in his work from a colourful version of the american flag to a slimple leaf in a bright background. He also dose work on the computer to create 3D graphic images. He also has created a number of fonts each with they different stlye and impressive images within themselves.
