A portrait of Vaughan Oliver the art director and graphic designer. Specialising in work for the music industry, Oliver’s unique approach has also attracted clients from a broader field including fashion, publishing, packaging, film and television, theatre, architecture, retail, advertising, food, dance, erotica, football and education. Put simply, a graphic design legend.

Vaughan’s ‘Irreverence/Defacement’ brief asked the participants to take an existing photographic image of him and deface it in irreverent ways. It was simultaneously enjoyable and terrifying. Enjoyable, as it was such a lovely self-deprecating idea for a brief, but terrifying, thinking that the legendary man himself would see the results. All’s well that ends well, I think he kind of liked it.
