Keep a Guard on What You Say
British graphic designer Abram Games served as the official War Poster artist during WWII, championing a 'maximum meaning, minimum means' philosophy. In this striking piece, he turns a human head into a surreal landscape where the mouth becomes a literal doorway. A soldier stands guard right on the tongue, visually enforcing the slogan 'Keep a Guard on What You Say' to warn citizens against careless talk. It’s a brilliant mix of modernist abstraction and serious security messaging that proves propaganda can be high art.
