Born in 1914, Abram went on to become one of the worlds most accomplished graphic designers. His portfolio of 60 years worth of designs clearly shows the ethos he followed when creating his work.
Maximum Meaning Minimum Means
Abram Games’ designs usually demonstrate this ethos by visually linking two items to get a message across with minimal words. His style led him to design for some of the world’s biggest brands and during World War 2 he was appointed ‘Official War Poster Artist’. This was almost the perfect role for him because of his ability to explain complex information in an extremely succinct way.
If you check the work of Noma Bar you will that Abrham’s work is still inspiring people today.
