Product Description

Formed in 2000, visual design agency Neasden Control Centre work for anyone bright and daring enough to hire them – art galleries, ad agencies, book publishers, bars, clubs, charities, design agencies, shops, musicians and magazines. Sought after in London and beyond, their commissions have included Esquire, Big Issue, 4AD, and MTV.

Named after their headquarters, a rented idyll just beyond the green belt, Neasden are a true collective, each member adding a little something to their designs. Easily on par with the likes of Silex, this group of young British illustrators has a sixth sense for space and distribution: with the eye of a child and skill of a master they mix a healthy, irreverent punk spirit with extremely skillful, cutting-edge techniques in their risky brew of drawing, graphic design, art and advertising.

Split into twelve distinct chapters based on a different part of the body, the book will include a selection of works by all Neasden artists in their distinct, edgy hand-drawn style, through a variety of media including photography, writing and found objects.

Customer Reviews

Exciting and Fresh Visual Design
A very "post-modern" design book. Definitely not made for traditionalist or "clean styled" designers. The designs featured in this book are very sketch-book like, loose, heavily layered and personal. Very inspiring if you enjoy this style of Graphic Design.
Neasden Control Centre is undoubtably one of the more edgy, progressive and important European Graphic Design firms in recent years.
