Part biography, part showcase for some of McConnell's most celebrated designs, this book gathers McConnell's exclusive redesign for Faber & Faber - a revolutionary new approach to book covers from the early 1980s.
John McConnell's list of
collaborators includes many household names - Boots, Faber & Faber,
Halfords, Clarks, John Lewis. The man behind the Biba logo (for which he
won the D&AD Silver in 1969), the logo of the National Grid and the
covers of a Penguin student textbook series from the early '70s has
exerted a quiet influence over British design since the sixties. His
awards alone speak to his prowess: the Prince Philip Designers' Prize
(2002) and the title of RDI (Royal Designer of Industry, 1987) among
them.
