Vincent McEvoy
Vincent McEvoy studied at Liverpool Art College. He first rose to prominence in the 1970s with his award-winning album artwork for Polydor artists The Who and Eric Clapton. He went on to work for the esteemed advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather in London and later Madrid, where he produced campaigns for Guinness, Polaroid, American Express and Ford. As well as the Direct Marketing Award in 2000, Vincent has won numerous D&AD and NYADC awards, and his work was exhibited as part of the ‘Rewind - 40 Years of the Best UK Advertising & Design from the D&AD’ held at the V&A Museum in 2002.
“Working with Andy Warhol in the 1980s gave me the impetus to make silkscreens. Struck by the resonance of another era, I re-discovered vinyl singles and started recreating the typography exactly as the originals I remember handing over pocket money on Saturdays to buy from NEMS in Liverpool, it was like winning an Oscar, so different from today’s downloads. Type fonts were set from metal, or wood then. I search out the nearest digital fonts and then redraw them to emulate them. There is a lot of fun in creating silkscreens with colours so vibrant. The hit and miss moments doing it all by hand can be magic (or totally frustrating), compared with working with graphics digitally”.
