Jonathan Barnbrook (born 1966), is a British graphic designer, film maker and typographer. He trained at Saint Martin’s School of Art and at the Royal College of Art, both in London.
Barnbrook designed the cover artwork of David Bowie’s 2002 album Heathen, where he used his ‘Priori’ typeface for the first type. Barnbrook went on to design the sleeves for all of Bowie’s studio albums up until his death with Blackstar, each with their own specially-designed typography.He cites record cover artwork as an early design influence, and possibly the interest that drew him to graphic design, with other covers including ones for John Foxx, Tuxedomoon and Cult With No Name.
Barnbrook is also a font designer and has released fonts including Bastard, Exocet, False Idol, Infidel, Moron, Newspeak, Olympukes, Sarcastic, Shock & Awe.[8] Many have emotive and controversial titles reflecting the style and themes of Barnbrook’s work. His font Mason, originally released as Manson, is available from Emigre.
From 1997–2003 Barnbrook collaborated with Young British Artist Damien Hirst, mainly on the design, layout and typography of his book I Want To Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, with Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now and on artwork associated with his restaurant Pharmacy.
Barnbrook lives and works in London.
Graphic authorship is taken for granted by many design theorists and it is gaining ground within practice, too. But the idea has received little sustained examination. What does it mean and what is really possible?
Serif vs San Serif - Why?
Within my work, my idea is to use contrasting serif and san serif fonts, too convey the contrast between the two individuals (the interviewers and the artist).
serif form gives me the impression of a formal, attitude, linking to way in which the interviewer speak; Their talk show is formal and is taken seriously within the design world.
On the other hand, a san serif font is mainly, really simple; this could link to the personally of sara de bondt as she comes across as a simple, straight to the point person.
The persona of SARA DE BONDT
The persona of sara de bondt is a main factor that makes up who she is. Firstly, she comes across as a really nervous, quiet character, giving the vibe that she is very inclosed.
But on the other hand, Sara’s work is very explosive, outgoing and loud. I personally see her design work as a way of expressing herself, showing her true colours, with her work being really colourful, bold and bright.

Identity tutorial and The Stage I Am At; The Development- 16/01/15
Today, I had my second identity tutorial with David and felt that it went ok, but definitely room for more development and improvement. The main logo that I designed and chose to be the “favourite design” was challenged by the tutors and said that my “angled n” design look more now and contemporary and felt that it represented my work more.
firstly the cloud logo reminded them of the “Skype” logo which was said by a few people; which personally, now looking at it, does. They said I could play with the cloud designs again and look at different, contrasting designs that look less like the Skype brand logo.
I could also have played with line weight and didn’t really like the contrasting nature between the Capital N’s of my initials in my text logo design too the lowercased “n” of my logo.
I got alot of ideas of guidance from the particular tutorial and was could by the tutor to follow the other “angled N” design as it became an over-all champion with the group discussion.
For this particular I needed to look at different typefaces as the typeface I was using was too impacting and powering and felt that the logo with the text was also quite overpowering with the size of the text. This gave me a good bases of the designs I needed to follow. The tutors told me to look at professional fonts which are angled and fit the angle, “cutting-edge” approach this particular logo was going for; they told me to look at futura and similar typefaces.
David said that ALL logos needed to able to work white on black and black on white. I needed to work with a bases black on white logo so it doesn’t draw my ideas of design.
I needed to also look at positioning of the text with image (logo) and see how it would fit with in different contexts similar to what I was doing which other logo designs.
Do I need the circle round it?
Do i need such a big logo? can it be subtle?
