Malcolm Garrett studied graphic design at Manchester Polytechnic in the mid 1970s, sharing a room with schoolfriend
Peter Saville. It was in his second year that he started designing sleeves for The Buzzcocks. His
work was revolutionary on many fronts: it's strong abstract, colourful style; the graphical branding of an artist (the
Buzzock logo being a formative example) and the use of all aspects of the sleeve in his design (even catalogue numbers
became important and emphasized).
Moving to London in 1978, he formed Assorted Images and worked in graphic identity, exhibition design,
television graphics and literature design. Early work included Magazine, which may have introduced
Jim to his work.
