What design scene is as diverse or cosmopolitan, more
rich in influences and references, as packed with new
trends and original ideas, as teeming with talent and
ambition than the UK? To stand out in this overcrowded
arena, British graphic designers have had to make their
work ever more clever and polished, better informed.
This fuels the distinctive, refined styles of such
artists as Mark Farrow, Sea, Spin, Browns, Fuel, James
Joyce, Zak, Studio 8 and Bibliotek. With such a wealth
of talent and material, the main question in compiling a
book on the best of new British design is not what to
put in, but what to leave out. Stylistic novelty and
visual distinctiveness are our key parameters, rather
than background or reputation. RGB features artists from
highly diverse backgrounds, at all different stages in
their careers, from household names to the newest young
talents. RGB captures the UK's explosively vibrant and
unpredictable realm of graphic design, in over 400 pages
packed with exciting visual material.Including new
