The Scottish artist David Band, who died last year, is to be remembered at the Glasgow School of Art this summer.
Friends and family have been invited to a celebration of his work to be held at the School in June.
Band, a GSA graduate, was famous in the 1980s for his record sleeve designs for Scottish bands Altered Images and Aztec Camera and for his work with Spandau Ballet on their multi-million selling True single and album. He also worked with many of the leading fashion designers including Betty Jackson and Jeff Banks, before leaving Britain to live in Australia.
He died at his home in Melbourne last April after a battle with cancer.
"We feel that David's memorial will mean so much to us and his family and friends who could not be at the celebration of his life in Melbourne," his mother, Margaret Band, said. "The fact that this will be at Glasgow School of Art will make it even more special."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
