Jonathan Barnbrook is one of Britain’s most influential graphic designers working today. In the 14 years as a designer he has both won many awards and gained notoriety though his work. His London office in engages in a number of diverse international projects and has become well known amongst other things for his book collaborations with leading artist Damien Hirst and his anti-advertising work with leading international activists adbusters and corporate identities for Roppongi Hills and Mori Art Museum. Barnbrook has also become known as one of the leading type designers of his generation that were the first to use emerging technology to produce experimental relevant work which changed the face of font design. The studio also became one of the first exponents in the 1990s of the then new genre of ‘motion graphics’ – producing highly complex and innovative animations for both commercial and private projects. Currently Barnbrook design is involved in taking their message out of the studio by putting their political work up in the city streets and exhibiting non-commercial projects in galleries worldwide. Barnbrook Bible – the first published monograph on the studio’s work will be available in June 2007 from Booth-Clibborn Editions/Rizzoli. Friendly Fire: the graphic design of Jonathan Barnbrook, a major retrospective at the Design Museum, London, will take place between June 19th and October 10th 2007. www.designmuseum.org
