Robert Brownjohn: Sex and Typography


Today, he is best remembered for his sexy James Bond credit sequences. But Brownjohn's legacy is far more significant...

The Fader:
"Alongside skills with line and form, Brownjohn was the hetero hero of '60's swinging London--friends with Mick and Miles, notorious ladykiller and, erm, heroin addict. It was the latter that eventually drove Brownjohn to an early death at the age of 44, but his masterful ability to make graphics, well, graphic is all the more reason to celebrate his passion today." (Oct/Nov '05)

Princeton Architectural Press, natch.
