In May 2001, the London-based design studio Stylorouge celebrated its 20th anniversary. In those 20 years, Stylorouge found an enthusiastic following among design and music fans, observers within the media and students of art producing memorable, successful and often groundbreaking visual campaigns for hundreds of musical artists, not to mention a wide range of projects in areas such as video direction, exhibitions and film poster design. In this work, projects are presented not just by finished artwork, but by visuals taken from various stages of development, including visual ideas which have been developed exclusively for the book.
"Over the last 20 years London-based design studio Stylorouge have built up an enthusiastic following for their memorable, successful and often groundbreaking visual campaigns. Flitting between music, video direction, exhibitions and film poster design, no designer can claim to have influenced the look of the modern record sleeve more than creative mastermind Rob O'Connor. And Delicious provides the attractive evidence: From Blur to Trainspotting the volume is a highly visual celebration of Stylorouge's lasting influence on the music and design community."
"Having followed Stylorouge for years through their work on various music package design I was super excited to get my hands on this retrospective of their work. I must admit I was disappointed. Instead of being a catalog overview I found the book layout to be distracting from the images. I was hoping to see the images produced and commdntary about their creation. For example, there is not an image of the final image used for Jesus Jones' "perverse" album cover but lots of images that were related to the campaign. I found that odd to talk a out and album and not show the proper cover. One could argue that if you bought this book you've seen the cover however, why not include it for someone to view who may not be familiar with the band?
The overview is really nice though and takes the reader through lots of music imagery from plenty of British bands like Blur, OMD, and Kula Shaker. Overall, not a bad book but not one I would go back to look at often."
