Peter Saville Designer

So I seem to be covering most of the ground so far with 2d designers, the masters of print and digital media.
Lets have one more post on a man who has designed everything from album artwork to gravestones. Peter Saville was the principal designer used by Manchester's Factory Records. Factory are probably best known for being the record label that Joy Division and New Order were signed to.

Tomato

Who or what is Tomato. Tomato is a collective of artists, designers, musicians and writers. On the musician end you may recognise Underworld. Tomato was founded in 1991 to work on commercial and research based multi media projects  and they work in advertising, architecture, fashion, public installations, music, television, film and graphic design. I have given a little sample of their film video work below.

The piece above Tomato graphics reminds me of the title sequence for Se7en which we had a look at earlier
