Description: Roger Dean Views FOREWORD BY SIR RICHARD BRANSON features: high gloss type finish on the exterior of the hardback book, a record album sized printing of Views When it was first published in 1975, Views received enormous critical and popular acclaim. Showcasing Roger Dean's early work, the book was produced with the aim of creating a full-color format that was as big as a record album but less expensive to buy - a daunting challenge in an age before digital production. Views went on to sell over one million copies, and established itself as a pioneering and iconic work. Magnetic Storm (1984) enjoyed similar success, while Dragon's Dream (2008) demonstrates how Roger Dean's visionary work continues to illuminate an age of digital animation, computer games, and virtual worlds. Views showcases the first seven years of Roger Dean's work after his graduation, in 1968, from the Royal College of Art. It includes innovative furniture designs and architectural projects; branding such as Yes typography and the first Virgin Records logo; groundbreaking stage sets; and album cover art including covers such as the award-winning Tales From Topgraphic Oceans. This new edition streamlines the original square format and retains the concept sketches and lavishly displayed finished pieces. Featuring a new foreward by Sir Richard Branson and revamped design, Views showcases and celebrates the art that defined an era. ROGER DEAN is internationally acclaimed as an artist and designer whose evocative and visionary images created a new genre. Made popular through the medium of album covers and posters, his work has sold in excess of 100 million copies. Roger became widely known in the 1970s for his album cover designs for Yes - including the classic logo now in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London - and a poll of Rolling Stone readers selected five of his designs in the top twenty best album covers of all time.
