A few days after LLV interviews legendary Manchester designer Malcolm Garrett, the deaThof Buzzcocks frontman Pete Shelley is announced. That day, Garrett tweets “This man and his words were literally the blueprint for my life.” Indeed, it was his designs for Shelley’s group, in particular the clever tiered Zs in their logo, which kick-started Garrett’s career. WiThhis street furniture-inspired geometric lines, minimalist palette and sense of irony and fun, he arguably invented the way that modern pop music could be packaged and marketed. Now Creative Director of design company Images & Co and ambassador for Manchester School of Art, Garrett is currently developing the fifth Design Manchester festival, but he generously freed some space in his diary to talk LLV through the 10 releases that map out his life in vinyl.
