Graphic designer and teacher, born and lived in London, who was self-taught apart from two terms at St Martin’s School of Art, 1930, and evening life classes. In 1936, the year he won first prize in a poster competition to publicize London County Council evening classes, Games was dismissed from the commercial art studio Askew-Young for horseplay, and decided to concentrate on his freelance career. He was not by nature an organisation man, although big organisations such as London Transport, Shell and the General Post Office were quick to employ his talents. During World War II Games designed posters for the War Office, 1941–6, some of his Socialistically inclined productions proving controversial. He was also responsible for British and Israeli postage stamps; the 1951 Festival of Britain, Queen’s Award to Industry and BBC Television emblems; and gained first prizes in poster competitions in Finland, Portugal, America, Sweden and Spain.
