1980s

In 1981 I graduated from Camberwell College of Art and Design with first class Honours and my degree show included the design of the debut album cover for Spandau Ballet, ‘Journeys To Glory’

Two years later I designed Sade’s debut album cover, ‘Diamond Life’. That went on to become the biggest selling debut album by a female artist at the time
