I started to read his book and I found he talked out of his arse. He made no sense and I lost interest after about two pages.
"You're a graphic designer for fuck's sake, you're not changing the world."

Is that what he said or is that your response to the book?

No, he never said that. But he came across as a self-important wanker in that book. He was swanning about in a fucking smoking jacket.

(May 7 07, 06:51)ah. i figured though.
i have always seen him (even though i do not know much. so i may be biased) as some sort of an icon of pop culture and not so much an historic icon that initiated a shift in graphic design based on strong and sensible philosophy.

I've never been able to figure out what he actually did--always seemed that others did the work
but he's old so I like him

I didn't know he was old.
I guess that makes me respect him a lot more.
I think I would even start to really like him if he's over 50.

Saville was my father until I disowned him over an ill-advised logo for some random supermodel.
I have been doing all of his typesetting since 1983.
