“Design is both a political and cultural force for change, although most designers choose not to think about the power it has.” —JB
Jonathan Barnbrook is a prolific designer from the United Kingdom whose work shouts commentary on political, corporate, and consummerist issues — notable designs of his include artwork for David Bowie’s 2002 album Heathen, which features his Priori font, artwork for art-superstar Damien Hirst’s book I Want To Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, with Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, and a long-standing design relationship with Adbusters Magazine. Additionally, he is a typographer for Virus Fonts and has designed a number of typefaces: Bastard, Bourgeois, Coma, Doublethink, Echelon, Expletive Script, Infidel, Moron, Newspeak, Olympukes, Sarcastic, Slate Machine, and Tourette.
