Ventilate Your Quarters
Abram Games, a master of the 'less is more' design philosophy, created this striking WWII poster to remind soldiers to open their windows. A giant, stylized blue 'V' shoots upward from an open window, acting as a beam of fresh air that illuminates a camouflaged barracks floating in the sky. The bold typography and clever visual pun turn a mundane military hygiene instruction into a dynamic piece of graphic design. Games produced over 100 posters during the war, and this one perfectly captures his signature style of using minimal elements to deliver a powerful message.
