Introduction

Kent is a ceremonial county in South East England. It is bordered by Essex across the Thames Estuary to the north, the Strait of Dover to the south-east, East Sussex to the south-west, Surrey to the west, and Greater London to the north-west.

The county has an area of 3,544 square kilometres (1,368 sq mi) and had an estimated population of 1,931,684 in 2024. The north-west of Kent is densely populated, with Dartford and Gravesend belonging to the Greater London conurbation and Chatham, Gillingham and Rochester forming a second conurbation around the River Medway; the town of Maidstone is to their south. The remainder of the county is more rural, and its principal settlements include the city of Canterbury in the north-east, the seaside resort of Margate on the north-east coast, and the ports of Dover and Folkestone on the east coast. For local government purposes Kent consists of a non-metropolitan county, with twelve districts, and the unitary authority area of Medway. The county historically included south-east Greater London, and is one of the home counties. (Full article...)

Selected biography

Dean at the O2 Arena in 2016

William Roger Dean (born 31 August 1944) is an English artist, designer, and publisher, best known for his surreal, fantastical landscapes and distinctive typography that defined the visual identity of progressive rock in the 1970s. Over a career spanning six decades, more than 100 million copies of his designs have circulated globally. His landmark collaborations with bands such as Yes and Asia produced some of the most recognisable album covers, logos, and stage designs during this period.

Dean spent his childhood moving between the UK, Greece, Cyprus, and Hong Kong due to his father's military career. He returned to England in 1959, later studying industrial design at the Canterbury College of Art and furniture design at the Royal College of Art in London. As a student, he developed the Sea Urchin chair, an early precursor to the beanbag chair that was later acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum. His postgraduate thesis focused on organic architecture and the psychology of domestic tranquility, establishing design philosophies that would shape both his later architectural concepts and his painted environments.

Dean transitioned into commercial illustration after executing design commissions for Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, which led to his breakthrough album cover for the Afro-rock band Osibisa in 1971. Later that year, he began a historic creative partnership with Yes, designing their iconic bubble logo, stage sets, and dozens of album sleeves beginning with Fragile (1971). His recurring motifs of floating islands, exotic biomes, and biomorphic structures became a central element of the band's visual identity. Dean established a similar long-term collaboration with the supergroup Asia and provided artwork for numerous other acts, including Uriah Heep, Gentle Giant, and Budgie.

Beyond the music industry, Dean's multi-disciplinary output spans corporate branding, architecture, video games, and book publishing. He created the original logo for Richard Branson's Virgin Records in 1973 and later designed the visual identity, box art, and logo for the software publisher Psygnosis. As a publisher, he co-founded Dragons' Dream and Paper Tiger Books, releasing over a hundred illustrated art volumes, including his own bestselling debut compilation, Views (1975). (Full article...)
