_______
Through the 80s and 90s Peter Ravn was a central figure in the danish
field of design and music with his work on design and visual identity
as sleeve and poster designer, director of music videos and concept
developer.
He was behind a string of the most remarkable Danish record sleeves
and was a pioneer in the danish music video. Through the 80s and 90s
he developed groundbreaking and visually experimenting music videos
for many of the biggest names in Scandinavian rock and pop.
In the 90s, Ravn was the architect behind the fashion project
DEMOCRATS, which was characterised by T-shirts with conceptual
graphic designs boasting philosophical, political and often
controversial slogans.
