Product Description
"The Graphic Language of Neville Brody" was a tribute to one of the most influential graphic designers of the 1980s. Since then, computer graphics have entered the field of communications and Brody has transformed his typography to create a new "visual language". These new designs are the fruits of five years' experimentation. The Tokyo department store "Parco", the Dutch telecom company PTT, and the German cable TV channel "Premiere" have all commissioned Brody's work. The results appear here alongside his new typefaces: Blur, Pop, and FF Gothic, created for Fontshop International of Berlin, publishers of "FUSE", the inetractive magazine set up by Brody in 1990 as a new forum for experimental typography. Designed by Brody himself, with Wozencroft's text, this is the second instalment in the continuing Brody story.

Format:Hardcover
Neville Brody is one of those graphic designers whom you know because, every time you picked up a novel or record in the 1980s to check out the name of the designer, there he was. Brody is best known for his work on The Face and Arena magazines, where he did trail-blazing typographical work, but he also did more subversive assignments for industrial bands such as Cabaret Voltaire and 23 Skidoo. Many of Brody's early works are collected in this monograph, illustrating his most influential period. Touch editor Jon Wozencroft provides the words, setting the context for Brody's graphics and typefaces in a lucid and thoughtful way. All round, an excellent introduction to one of the giants of typography and one of the coolest books ever printed (really!).

I use the book almost every day, just looking at the photos and the whole design of Neville Brody. Highly recommendable - buy it if you want inspiration for your graphic design.
Format:Hardcover
Personally, I am more fond of the first volume - the reason for this is Brody's earlier graphic works remain far more genuine and rid of the instant graphic assemblage provided by numerous computer programmes.
And this book is a bit less-surprising - albeit fascinating and innovative in its own right, it is just an expected volume of odds and ends Brody continues progressing, but to some extent the challenge and the thrill seem swapped for mere professional maintenance.
However, it is a fine logical crossover from manual to digital - a decent sequel, 'The Graphic Language of Neville Brody 2' works as an established selection of work, also covering some of the more personal corners of a truly successful career.
