Research: David Pelham.

Ive been looking into different artists styles recently, and have come across a man named David Pelham. David Pelham worked as a cover designer for Penguin books, and the style he used is very much like Paul (something) in the way he used colours, and lines. It all looks very 60's, but not so pop 60's.

David Pelham has designed a few book covers, but famously designed the cover forA Clock work Orange (Anthony Burgess, 1962). This caught my eye because of how simple, yet how complicated the design was. He has only used block colours, and thick, simple curved lines, yet you really get a sense of forboding when you look at the cover.

He has also designed 4 books for a Science fiction series for J.G Ballard. They have the same striking lines and curves, but the colours feature heavy gradients on them, which is very effective, especially when pusing the idea of Science fiction. The way he has used shadows as well is very effective.
