Updated: Feb 18, 2020

Clive Russel



Graphic Designer at This Ain't Rock 'n' Roll


-Interest in Printmaking from Foundation Year

-Went to the Graphic Design Course at Leeds

-Also designer for Brixton "Brixtopia"


-When making designs for movements, you need to learn from the past movements(sufforgate, punk, hippie)

  • font

  • colour palette

  • make the PERSONALITY of the movement

  • NEEDS TO FEEL INCLUSIVE

-Not a DIY movement, but a Do-It-Yourself movement

-For Extinction Rebellion (also known as XR), made a typeface inspired by Futura, made a colour palette, made a woodcut, made a patch for fashion unity

-When using the symbols of XR, you share an image, an experience

-Also made a book for Penguin

-Performance activism

-try to be apolitical when designing, but have to have some views


I think his designs using woodcuts were very cool. I also liked how he uses designs of others, such as the XR symbol and posters. I think collaboration is a major factor in Graphic Design, so I should also learn and take in from my peers.
