attended College as was recognized for his work until his fondness of Punk Rock
almost had him expelled from school for putting the Queen of England head sideways
on a stamp design. In spite of
the postage stamp episode, Brody was not only motivated by the energies of
punk. His first-year thesis had been based around a comparison between Dadaism
and pop art. Initially working in record cover design, Brody made his name
largely popular through his revolutionary work as Art Director for The Face
magazine when it was first published in 1980. Brody has pushed the boundaries
of visual communication in all media through his experimental and challenging
work, and continues to extend the visual languages we use through his
exploratory creative expression.
