Peter Saville is a graphic designer from Manchester. He is most famous for creating record sleeves for Factory Records and has designed covers for such bands as Joy Division and New Order.
I have been a fan of Factory Records and the bands they employed for a long time and I was always intrigued by the interesting simplicity of the record covers. I then started to look into the design and that is where I discovered Saville. I then went on to look at his other work he did for the 'Hacienda' club in Manchester.
All of his designs are very simple but yet so effective, and this is a theme which has run through all of the other successful designers I have looked at. This is also something I can interpret in my own work.
My favorite bits of Saville's work are the posters he created to advertise the different nights which were happening at the Hacienda. They all followed a similar theme which contained big bold colours and stood out amongst other designs. This is definitely something which I could interpret in my work by using big bold colours to attract the users attention, but at the same time not overcrowding the page with many contrasting colours.
