Tom Eckersley

Article Abstract:

Graphic designer Thomas Eckersley gained a very positive reputation for his ability to communicate a strong message through great understatement. He was greatly influenced by Surrealist artists while training as a graphic designer, as well as by the graphic work of Hans Schleger and by French poster designer A.M. Cassandre. He became head of the department of design at the London College of Printing in 1957, and designed many posters for public service agencies.
