Vaughan Oliver (born 1957) is a graphic designer based in Wandsworth, South West London. Oliver is most noted for his work with graphic design studio v23 (once named 23 Envelope), which maintained a close relationship with seminal record label 4AD between 1982 and 1998, designing posters and record sleeves for the labels' artists.
For many he is a huge influence. I found this quote off amazon's site "Vaughan Oliver is probably the most influential designer in the past 20 years as he merged both graphic design and fine art into a new graphic language. Forget one trick ponies such as David Carson, the Designer's Republic and Tomato, Vaughan is THE true pioneer".
There are several books available on him, such as Visceral Pleasures by Rick Poyner and Vaughan Oliver: This Rimy River - Graphic Works 1988-94:
