FUEL was a seminal, rule-shattering independent magazine created by Damon Murray, Stephen Sorrell and (initially) Peter Miles & Nick Oates while students and immediately after the Royal College of Art. Now regarded as one of the most important British graphic design artefacts of the early 1990s, it pioneered raw, deconstructed typography and visual anarchy that directly influenced Ray Gun, Designers Republic, Tomato and the entire grunge/grunge movement.
Issue #4 Cash captured the peak of 1990s British rave hedonism and money-worship fever. Fluorescent lime and magenta inks, counterfeit bank-note parodies, layered club-flyer detritus and photocopy degradation celebrated (and satirised) acid-house excess and new-loadsamoney culture. Spreads overflowed with distorted pound signs, Ecstasy pills rendered as currency and shredded stock-market listings. Widely considered the loudest, most fluorescent and most cynical of the series, Cash pre-figured the bling and Y2K aesthetics that dominated design five years later.
