The artists behind some of Britain’s most iconic album covers
Peter Saville CBE, Keith Breeden and Malcolm Garrett MBE
This has been a wonder to us for 40 years,” says Peter Saville as he reflects on what he and fellow record sleeve designers Keith Breeden and Malcolm Garrett have achieved in the British music industry. They are a trio I like to call the ‘Holy Trinity’ of
artwork and graphic design in the music world.
From the rise of punk until the mid-80s and 90s, individually these three men masterminded the record sleeve artwork and band merchandise for around 100 artists. From Duran Duran’s Rio to New Order’s Power, Corruption & Lies, some of the most memorable album and single covers resulted from their creative vision.
What is almost as extraordinary as their legacy is that they all studied A-level art together at St Ambrose College in Altrincham, south-west of Manchester, from 1973-1974.

Garrett is somewhere in the middle.
