Overview

Souvenir guides, zines, record sleeves and fabric badges from the Malcolm Garrett Collection

This collection includes comics, annuals, zines, posters, vinyl records and other objects, as well as a collection of punk and post punk fashion. It is the result of years of collecting by the renowned graphic designer Professor Malcolm Garrett, an alumni of the Manchester School of Art. His love of pop culture has had a huge influence on his work.

Malcolm Garrett is known for his iconic record sleeve covers of the 1970s and 1980s, for Buzzcocks, Duran Duran and Peter Gabriel amongst others, and for his early adoption of digital technology in design.
