Profile
About
Graphic designer John Gorham created a huge range of work during his 40-year career, spanning design, typography, packaging, posters and illustration – much of which was awarded. He largely worked as a freelancer, regularly collaborating with Alan Parker as well as Frank Lowe and Tim Delaney. Above and beyond his design work, Gorham taught at the Royal College of Art for ten years. Although he’s considered something of a forgotten designer now, Gorham’s work was undoubtedly hugely influential on successive generations of creatives. “Gorham’s style was all about the idea first, the idea, after that, the idea,” wrote Michael Johnson.
