Born in England and educated in London at the Central School of Art and the Royal College of Art, he moved to Los Angeles in 1973. During the following decades he produced images for many artists.[2] Starting in 1980 he directed many of the first music videos for artists.[3] His editorial illustration includes covers for Time, Vanity Fair, New York Magazine, and New West Magazine. He was a founding partner in various design groups, Art Attack with John Kehe (1975), Neo Plastics with C.D.Taylor (1980) and Brains with Steve Samiof (1994). He served as Art Director at Virgin Records (1992) and Warner Music (2001). Haggerty was a member of the faculty of Otis Parsons School of Design (now Otis College of Art and Design) from 1983–91. His work is included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.[4]
Haggerty is most well-known for his album covers, but that is not the only art he creates. Haggerty experiments with photography, typography, and point of view to create his work.
