Project Research: Abram Games
Abram Games(1914 - 1996) was a british graphic designer
When Abram was 16 he went to Saint Martin's School of Art in London, but he disliked the teaching there and he had financial problems so Games left after two terms. (Richard Slocombe, 2014)
After trying to get education for multiple times, getting kicked out and failing, he started working individually and ended up winning a poster competition for the London County Council. (Abram Games, 2023) Because of his success, he got an article written for him: "An article on him in the influential journal Art and Industry in 1937 led to several high-profile commissions for Games, from the General Post Office, London Transport, Royal Dutch Shell and others." (Alan & Isabella Livingston, 1996)
