Rob Sheridan (born October 11, 1979) is an American graphic designer, director, and photographer best known for his extensive work with the band Nine Inch Nails.
Sheridan attended art school at New York's Pratt Institute for one year before being hired at age 19 by Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor in 1999, on the merits of a Nine Inch Nails fansite he created during high school.[1] He was initially hired to maintain the newly-launched official Nine Inch Nails website.[2] Since then he has taken over as art director for the band, contributing photography, web design, album covers, music videos, live tour visuals, and two live concert films.[3] He was also credited for assisting Trent Reznor with the mythology of the alternate reality game built around Nine Inch Nails' 2007 album Year Zero.[4]

Recently Sheridan has been working with Trent Reznor on his other band How to Destroy Angels as the art director, and co-producing a miniseries for HBO based on Nine Inch Nails' 2007 Year Zero album/ARG.[8] He also created the artwork/package for the soundtrack release of the Academy Award-winning and Golden Globe-winning score for "The Social Network" by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

Sheridan has also become known for his illustration work. In 2007 he began posting artwork and releasing prints on his Sketchblog, which he described as "an exercise in creative discipline - an attempt to get myself to draw more and play around with images and ideas that wouldn't fit in my professional work."[10]
In December 2008, in recognition for his work in Art Direction on the Ghosts I-IV box set, Sheridan was nominated for a Grammy award for "Best Box Set or Limited Edition Package".[11]
