Robin Derrick: My Life In Media - Independent
Really, it was record covers: David Bowie on the back of Ziggy Stardust and everything about them. Roger Dean books and Hipgnosis (a 1970s design team responsible for the Pink Floyd record covers) led to an interest in graphic design. Then, as 16-year-old A-level student at Filton Tech in Bristol, I found an October 1976 Diamond Jubilee copy of Vogue with a cut-glass logo, plain red cover and pictures by Guy Bourdin and David Bailey; I put all the pictures on my wall. And in order to meet girls in the fashion department at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, I designed some clothes for its Alternative Fashion Show, which I photographed. This led me to i-D magazine and I met Terry Jones. He'd been the art director of Vogue and had done the 1976 cover that I had seen when I was 16. On his desk was the cut-glass Vogue logo.
