Born in Luton, 1966, Barnbrook is one of the most influential designers in the UK & is most certainly recognised as this in Japan aswell. His education involves study at Central St Martin's but most importantly the Royal College of Art of which are both situated in London. Not only is he a brilliant graphic designer, but also a film maker & typographer.
Barnbrook formed a design consultancy which made them very recognisable thanks to their most well known work for the cover of David Bowie's album of 2002, Heathen. Not only was this influential to his buisness but he also debuted his typeface "Priori". After this kickstart of his typography career he released more typefaces through Virus Fonts these include Bastard, Exocet, False Idol, Infidel, Moron, Newspeak, Olympukes, Sarcastic, Shock & Awe. These controvesial titles cause the publics attenion & set the theme for his work.
