Simon is an award-winning graphic designer with a career spanning four decades in the music industry. He is most noted for his work with Paul Weller, George Michael and Oasis having worked with these artists for many years and designed some of their most iconic record sleeves. During this time Simon took a wealth of behind the scenes photographs, most of which are largely unseen.
It's a journey that began at Stiff Records back in 1980, where with no formal training Simon ended up in their art department, before moving on to work for Neville Brody up at The Face magazine offices. Since that time Simon has worked alongside many of the great artists and photographers, from Peter Blake to David Bailey.
Simon's portfolio also takes in design work for The Who, Madness, Steve Winwood, Nick Heyward, David Bowie, Frank Sinatra, the Blue Note label and many more.
