Richard Evans was born in 1945 on the same day as Eric Clapton – and that's where the similarity ends. He studied fashion design at Nottingham School of Art in the 1960s followed by a post-graduate course in graphic design at Leicester. His forays into the rag trade were as a shoe designer in the early 70s, putting multi-coloured platforms under the feet of the likes of Elton John, George Harrison, Roxy Music and The Osmonds. It was at this time that he met Aubrey Powell and Storm Thorgerson and later worked at Hipgnosis as their graphic designer for several years before eventually setting up his own design studio in 1976.

He has produced work for a variety of artists including The Doors, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, Public Image Limited, Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman, Van Morrison and World Party – plus album packages for a diverse range of musical tastes and genres. He’s worked continually with The Who since 1976, designing anything and everything for them, from album covers to tour merchandise, his first assignment being a centre-fold nude photograph of Keith Moon for a Who tour programme – talk about a baptism by fire! His recent work for the band includes the design for the documentary AMAZING JOURNEY: THE STORY OF THE WHO and the cover for ENDLESS WIRE, the first new studio album from The Who in 24 years.

Latest projects include WOODSTOCK CHRONICLES, the definitive book celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, JAZZ – THE GOLDEN ERA and THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE BLUES, two 196-page books highlighting the best of both musical genres, and both including a 20-track CD.
