Tom Eckersley was born in Lowton, Lancashire in 1914. Just five minutes away from where I was born. He worked continuously from the 1940's to the 1980's and created many memorable posters on a wide range of topics and themes. However all of his works managed to maintain the same sense of style.
He used bold colours and shapes and played around with layering to create alot of depth and texture in his compositions. It was an approach that was popular among many designers in the sixties but somehow Eckersley managed to keep his ideas original and in return his work has become iconic.
