Saville attended St Ambrose College. He studied graphic design at Manchester Polytechnic (later Manchester Metropolitan University) from 1975 to 1978.
Saville entered the music scene after meeting Tony Wilson, the journalist and television presenter, whom he approached at a Patti Smith show in 1978. This resulted in Wilson's commissioning the first Factory Records poster (FAC 1). Saville became a partner of Factory Records along with Martin Hannett, Wilson, Rob Gretton and Alan Erasmus.
By looking at this piece, I can see that his work is quite modern. I love how the piece appears to be a college of american culture (wrappers) however it is sleeky fitted into the type face which allows me to believe that this is a digital piece. If this piece were to be created on the computer I would say it was created in photoshop, despite the fact that typography is best suited to illustrator, the collage gives a texture which doesn't appear to be vector.
