Neville Brody was the Art Director for "The Face" magazine, a UK fashion magazine he helped to revamp. It was through "The Face" magazine that Brody made his name in the world of Graphic Design.
He experimented widely and so pushed the boundaries of design to extend visual languages. In the August 1984 issue of "The Face" Brody expressed that one did not have to be inhibited by the page and he challenged why the page had to end just because the lines said so. He strived to show how the minimalist style could create great pieces of work and he used a colour theme that was continuous and a simple lettering form.
When Brody began at "The Face" magazine he did not really know about typography and it is said it was this that made him so successful as he would combine existing type faces. He seemed to revolutionise magazine design and "The Face" was seen as the "style bible" due to his input.
Brodie experimented with trying to guide others on how to work and did not simply present them with a solution.
