	Peter Saville
		Peter Saville was born in Manchester, England in 1955; he grew up in the affluent suburb of Hale and studied graphic design at Manchester Polytechnic from 1975 to 1978.
		Although Saville moved on from the more overt forms of postmodern appropriation, he was never shy to discuss his sources and influences, as well as what he regards as the 'gloriously parasitic elements of graphic design'.
		While Saville, a self-confessed illiterate when it comes to computers, was drawn to the possibilities of the internet as a medium to distribute work; removing the need as he saw it, for a secondary agent to act as a conduit.

		Obsessed as a teenager by Saville’s work in the 1980s for Factory Records’ bands such as Joy Division and New Order, one of Anderson’s treats as an adult indie rock star whose record company was willing to indulge him was to commission Peter Saville to design for his own band.
		Saville treated his artwork for Factory acts such as Joy Division and Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (so-called because it was the self-indulgent name they could think of) as form of self-expression to articulate whatever happened to obsess him at the time.
		Saville created visual essays sparked by memories of his life in Los Angeles for the site and used a Photoshop programme to digitally shred his vintage 1970s and 1980s album sleeves for Joy Division and New Order into beautiful, but haunting remnants of the original images.

		This would not be a surprise if Saville were a film star (as the somewhat autobiographical cover he designed for the Suede single of the same name--featuring a photo of Saville himself dressed as a clubgirl--suggests).
		But Saville's role as maverick outsider, in addition to his fluid negotiation between the traditionally separate fields of art, design, moving image, styling and direction, allows him a unique vantage point from which to critically observe contemporary visual culture, both in the worlds of fashion and music, and in the corporate arena.
		In one sense, Saville's "Waste Paintings" are an extension of the controversial gesture of appropriation, for which he himself was well known in the 1980s, when he would directly and irreverently "lift" an image from one genre--art history for example--and recontextualize it in another.

		They have each owned their own Peter Savilles, and the trip here is a bit like setting out on an archaeological dig, keen to identify the foundations of what they know.
		Saville has never been much of a one for the photo library; most of his designs seem to arrive out of the drift of his particular consciousness, his kind of reading, his manner of looking; his signs seem invoked as much as invented.
		Saville has always been an interlocutor, not a preacher, and his designs of this period underscore and eventually describe a new mood in the country's towns and fields and underpasses.

		Celebrating Saville's work over the last three decades, this Urbis exhibition displays a copious array of drafts, proofs, record sleeves, album artwork and classic era-defining posters.
		What becomes clear throughout this show is the degree to which Saville's sophisticated designs actually become a component of our experience of listening to the bands he worked with, somehow enhancing their artistic credentials with his own.
		Saville's work with Factory was a rare collaboration, creating not only memorable visuals for music of dark and dazzling innovation, but also a legacy of some of the most powerful design statements of the last 25 years.

	BBC - collective - peter saville, the design museum
		This first retrospective of Peter Saville’s work coincides with the publication of a lavish book, Designed By Peter Saville.
		These are shown in all their deconstructed glory: the original Pantone codes for Power, Corruption and Lies; the floppy disk from a sequencer which inspired the pop art tribute sleeve for Blue Monday; and the architectural observations which informed the cross-cultural references of Atmosphere.
		Much has been made of Saville’s use of semiotics and “borrowed” images, yet what really comes across in this beautifully constructed exhibition is the sense that he was a master of his source material, rather than a slave to it.

		Their entire image and asthetic were dependent on Saville's images which for the most part had very little to do with the music produced besides an allusion to a lyirc or an interesting juxtaposition of sound and vision.
		In a sense, Saville became like fifth member to the group who was integral to the presentation yet an outsider to the process (much like Anton Coribjn for Depeche Mode/U2 or the Hipgnosis group for Pink Floyd).

		Most admired for his collaborative energy and imagination, Oliver is one of the most consistently innovative and significant graphic designers to have emerged since the mid-1980s.
		Vaughan Oliver was a highly influential member of the small group [with Neville Brody, Malcolm Garrett and Peter Saville] that set the stage for a graphic revolution and changed the face of British graphics in the 1980s and 1990s.
		He achieves the sort of ambiguity and complexity of resonance more usually associated with art," writes graphic design critic Rick Poynor in his essay.

		The bands played live on a huge stage, big enough to accommodate three acts simultaneously, with the presenters able to link from one live act to another without breaks or recorded tracks in-between.
		The presenters - Alex James from Blur, MTV's Emily Rose and Konnie Huq of Blue Peter - wandered between the bar and the audience, linking the live music, interviews and features as though they were in a club, the antithesis of the conventional radio studio.
