Designer of Soul II Soul's seminal 'Funki Dred' logo, Derek went on to make a major contribution to the way Britain's multicultural club culture looked in the late nineteen eighties. During that time he designed tee-shirts, banners,merchandising and 12" covers for Jazzie B and was responsible for the visual identity and interior design of the groundbreaking acid house night 'Confusion De Londra'. This led to him being a featured artist in Design After Dark by Cynthia Rose, which was the first survey of the design that accompanied the explosion of dance music culture at that time. Derek is now a senior lecturer in Graphic Design at Camberwell College of Arts, where his research interests include the significance of black music culture to contemporary art & design.
