Neville Brody’s book was the first thing I bought after enrolling on by ND course, shortly followed on recommendation by Typography Now. I was constantly checking the library for the latest issues of Creative Review, Eye, Emigre, and Design Week. Emigre in particular was the magazine I loved. When i’d see something amazing by the likes of Tomato and David Carson i’d often try and do something similar for myself. Other designers who’s work I thought was amazing were Vaughan Oliver, Jonathan Barnbrook, Designers Republic, Substance and P Scott Makela.
