Biography

Alistair Deane was born and educated in Edinburgh.

 

After leaving school he attended college where he trained as a printer and typographer.  After working for a short time in one of Scotland's leading advertising agencies he moved to London to work as a graphic designer.  

 

For over forty years he ran his own design and print consultancy.

Among the logos he created include the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Indusrty (ABPI) The British Coatings Federation (BCF), the Princess Alice Hospice, Kidney Research UK, YHA Adventure Shops and St George's Hill Golf Club.
