Original Post: Vaughn Oliver

Have you seen the movie Se7en? The guy who did the beginning and end title sequence; Kyle Cooper. Well, he wouldn't be in business if it weren't for Vaughn Oliver also known as v23.

Vaughn Oliver started doing design work for 4 A.D. in 1983 and revolutionized album art. Even when I was a kid and knew next to nothing about graphic design, I knew a 4 A.D. album just by the cover design.

Oliver set the stage for a graphic revolution in the eighties and nineties. His impact was left on the music industry and influenced a generation of designers like Cooper, exploring the possibilities of type and print.

The Pixies album Surfer Rosa is the album a lot of you might be familiar with.
