Jamie Reid

“God Save The Queen”

Jamie Reid is a designer whose work is all too well known to me. Creating the infamous cover for The Sex Pistols “Never Mind The Bollocks”, he used a mix of harsh bold colours and ransom note style type. This album cover would go on to define punk art and design to this day. His work was anarchistic, Nationalistic, and used heavily defaced pop imagery (like his work ” God Save The Queen” on the left). He continued to design for The Sex Pistols and still does design work to this day. His work for The Sex Pistols has been shown in the MOMA, the Tate Gallery, and others.
