The Designers Republic was founded in Sheffield, England on 14 July 1986 byIan Anderson. The companie's style was known for contridicating itself with it's anti-establiment way of designing whilst using these designs for large cooperations such as Coca-Cola & Orange. However the studio closed in 2009 as Anderson believed despite them closing the company will move forward in the design industry still as of yet. Infact that is true as despite the oss of their studio, they have still been designing for Warp Records on albums such as Oversteps, Move of Ten & Autechre's tenth album.
Originally the cooperation was formed by Anderson to produce flyers for the band Person to Person of which he was managing at the time. He was originally inspired by Russian Constructivism.
So far this is the graphic design company has really sparked my interest. I especially enjoy how the designs are sleek, proffessional with the use of vector however at the same time playful with it's bold colours & quirky designs.
