Alan Fletcher was a British Graphic designer who worked with many different clients during his design career. In 1963, along with Colin Forbes and Bob Gill, they produced the book Graphic Design: A Visual Comparison. Alan has also produced a cover for Fortune Magazine in the year 1958. Alan has written many other books on the subject of graphic design. In 1994 Jeremy Myersons published a book on Alan's work called Beware Wet Paint. One of the more notable clients he had worked with was a company called Pirelli. They are a company that makes robotics and tyres. Their logo design is also noticable to any typographer.
Alan's work always looks very personalised. Like most graphic designers, Alan would create a lot of projects from his own personal experiences, often with many different clients. Alan also created the logo for the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, which is still used to the present day. It should also be noted that outside of graphic design, Alan Fletcher used to teach English in Barcelona.
