In 1972, Indian designer and educator Biman Mullick founded the anti-smoking organisation Cleanair, and has been designing materials for this campaign ever since.
I went to see this exhibition whilst in London for Open House weekend and can recommend it.
This will be a great study visit, which could appeal to not only Graphic Designers, but Photography, Creative Arts Today and typically Vis Comms studetns. Also the Welcome Collection is wonderful venue, with plenty to see and possibly some cake!
Dear Mr Squires,
I am the designer of the poster “Smoking is Slow Motion Suicide”. Hope you and your students liked the exhibition. You would be interested to know that I used to teach at Farmham School of art. Regards. Biman Mullick.
