Editing Barney Bubbles (section)

==Influence and legacy==
Barney Bubbles is widely acknowledged as a pioneer and exemplar of design for music. 'To say that Bubbles' work was influential would be an understatement. He took the world by storm with his momentous contribution,' wrote Creative Boom's Aya Angelos in 2022.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.creativeboom.com/features/barney-bubbles/ | title=The Wild World of Barney Bubbles: A closer look at the enduring influence of the iconic graphic designer | date=21 June 2022 }}</ref> According to Peter Saville, 'The work of Barney Bubbles expresses post-modern principles: that there is the past, the present and the possible; that culture and the history of culture are a fluid palette of semiotic expression and everything is available to articulate a point of view.'<ref>Reasons To be Cheerful: The Life & Times of Barney Bubbles, [[Paul Gorman]], Adelita ISBN 978-095520-17-3-8</ref>

The first exhibition dedicated to Bubbles' work was held at London gallery Artomatic in 2001,<ref name="Sleep Till Canvey Island 2000"/> curated by the art-design team Rebecca And Mike.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://showstudio.com/contributors/333 |title=Rebecca & Mike - SHOWstudio - The Home of Fashion Film |publisher=SHOWstudio |access-date=28 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100804052710/http://showstudio.com/contributors/333 |archive-date=4 August 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
