Peter Saville Book
The Peter Saville coffee table book commemorates his career and influence in the world of design. He is a historical designer whose personality influenced his work and how he pushed the limits of graphic design through album sleeves and fashion, making him a pivotal figure in the industry. My peer and I were tasked with sharing Peter Saville’s story by designing a book that reflects the style of the designer.
SCOPE
Design Research & Stratgey
Publication
The goals:
Balance stillness and movement
Create simple elegance
Allow the work to speak for itself
Cover spreads were designed to invite viewers into his story with the back and front resembling album covers.
The subtle usage of color highlights and pulls the reader into Saville’s work, allowing the reader to see his design style just by examining the images. Each content page was designed to keep his work at the focal point and let his sense of design play through.
The copy of the book was provided to us, but we wrote additional commentary (which is mostly found in the color blocks) that emphasized Peter Saville’s personality over his career. This was designed to help the reader understand how he incorportes his own life into his work.

Throughout the book, we designed a variety of visual-rest spreads that allowed the reader a visual break from reading, while still presenting Peter Saville.
