Designer of the Week

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.
