A director of the Pentagram agency for 30 years, design director at Faber and Faber, and consultant to many leading brands, John McConnell has been a significant figure in commercial graphics since the 1960s. This examination of his work gives a succinct overview of his career and presents a selection of his most celebrated designs, many of which are book covers.
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.
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.
