Abram Games Exhibition

Another exhibition we ventured to was the A. Games exhibition in Sheffield at Sheffield Hallam University.
Round London Sightseeing Tour - Abram Games

Whilst admiring this exhibition this image caught my attention, it is a promotional poster for the London Underground, created to express that it is the best way to sight see London.
The way that games had used memorable structures from around London to create the typography for this piece realy stood out for me. i found it interesting that although they were very minimalist representations of the structures Games has managed to capture the essential shapes and detail that really brings out the distinctive features in the architecture, even with my lack of knowledge of London i was able to pick out Westminster abbey, Tower Bridge and Big Ben almost instantly.
