About the author:
Rian Hughes is an internationally respected type designer, graphic designer and illustrator, whose clients include Swatch, Virgin Atlantic, MTV, the BBC and DC Comics. He has been awarded the BDA International Gold Award and Campaign Press Awards Silver in 1996, and a Merit Award from the New York Art Director's Club in 2000. He has contributed to numerous international exhibitions, lectured widely both in the UK and internationally, and a one-man exhibition of his work was held recently at the Conningsby Gallery, London. A retrospective book collection, Art Commercial was published in 2002.
"...the commissions - and awards - keep coming. Hughes is a great communicator. As a vibrant sampler of one of the most succesful and prolific british illustrator-designers of the past twenty years, this is one device that any aspiring all-rounder should own."
Roger Sabin, Eye magazine
[reviewing Art Commercial]
Rian Hughes is brit-pop for typography at its best.

Rian always produces fonts with an expertise and commitment that gives his work great depth.
Jonathan Barnbrook
With his ever-present penchant for self re-invention and his restless pursuit of innovation, Rian Hughes should retain his unpredictable creativity and predictable quality for a good many years to come.
