Abram Games (originally Abraham Gamse) was born into a Jewish immigrant family in London, England on 29 July 1914. His father was a photographer, originating from Latvia, and taught him to hand-render his images. Games briefly attended St. Martin's School of Art, but, dissatisfied with the teaching, left after only two terms in 1930. In 1935, at the age of 22, he won first prize in a poster design competition for London County Council and afterwards, established himself as a freelance poster designer gaining commissions from London Transport and the General Post Office, among others. He joined the infantry as a private in 1940 and after designing a recruiting poster for the Royal Armoured Corps in 1941, was appointed official war poster designer (1942–6) with Frank Newbould as his assistant. He created over a hundred iconic and educational and instructional wartime posters; many celebrated, others controversial: his set of three posters for the 'Your Britain … fight for it now' campaign was considered too political; his recruiting poster for the Auxiliary Training Service (1941), ‘too glamorous’ (withdrawn after questions in Parliament).

In 1945 Games married Marianne Salfeld (1919–1988), a textile designer born in Mainz, Germany, and set up his commercial design practice in the family home in north-west London. Post-war, he continued his freelance commercial work for employers including London Transport, BOAC, and the Financial Times, coining the phrase 'maximum meaning, minimum means', to describe his approach to design. He also produced posters for Jewish charities, such as the arresting 'Give Clothing for Liberated Jewry' poster for the World Jewish Relief organisation CBF. In 1948 Games won a competition to design stamps for the 1948 Olympics, and three years later, created the iconic 'Festival Star' image for the Festival of Britain, also creating logos and symbols including the first insignia for

Latest News: Suzanne Collins Writing New Hunger Games Book

Author Suzanne Collins is expanding The Hunger Games universe.

Publisher Scholastic announced Thursday that Collins’ fifth book in the popular dystopian series, Sunrise on the Reaping, will be available on March 18, 2025. In addition, Lionsgate will produce a film adaptation of the new novel to reach movie theaters on November 20, 2026.

The new title is set 40 years after the events of the most recent book in the series, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and focuses on themes of misinformation and government influence. “I was inspired by David Hume’s idea of implicit submission and, in his words, ‘the easiness with which the many are governed by the few,’” Collins said in a statement. “The story also lent itself to a deeper dive into the use of propaganda and the power of those who control the narrative. The question ‘Real or not real?’ seems more pressing to me every day.”

Who Is Suzanne Collins?

Suzanne Collins is an American author who published her debut book, Gregor the Overlander, the first of the five-part The Underland Chronicles, in 2003. Five years later, in 2008, her first book of The Hunger Games series was published. The best-selling trilogy was adapted into a blockbuster film series starring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen and later expanded to include a prequel book and film, The Ballad of Songbirds of Snakes, and a newly announced fifth novel in 2025.
