Abram Games
In a time where the commercial artist produced hand crafted concepts Abram Games was a hugely influential in creating graphic imagery for a massive array of clients including Shell, Guinness and London Transport amongst others.
Influenced by surrealist art, he recognised the power of the subconscious and used this in his work to weave layers of ideas together in an effectively simple style of bold and colorful images.
It was this innovative style that got him appointed as an official war poster artist for the British through the Second World War.
Like most propaganda posters, those designed by Games constitute as poignant documents of social history, and have become an icon of design.

In the seemingly bottomless soup that is the internet, there are the websites that float into view demanding to be seen, talked about and clicked through. We believe the new Buckley Gray Yeoman site is one of these. Easily navigated the flash based site creates a BGY world a-buzz with activity; pencils roll, badges bounce and Polaroid’s float across the pages in a fluid orderly disorder (if you can have such a thing). It’s striking, entertaining and 'real'.

These other, highly intelligent people with a keen eye for style seem to think the same...
“More fun than the average....so no change there!”
“Just had a look at this - really excellent, guys, really excellent!
Well done.”
“Very impressive!”
“I must say the new website is fantastic - really clever and unique.”

...young Jeavon happened across a most peculiar car with a most unusually passenger. Severely battered and sporting a tax disc for 1971 you have to wonder where it came from and who she is waiting for. I’m personally going with the past and Andrew McCarthy, but I could be wrong...
