His work in the graphics field has varied from book covers for Penguin Press to posters for the National Trust and illustration in a wide variety of books. Gentleman studied at the St Albans School of Art and the Royal College of Art, under John Nash among others
On his nomination by CSD, Mr Gentleman commented: “I need hardly say how honoured and delighted I am by the CSD's nomination, and how appreciative of the efforts of those who have suggested it”.
The Prince Philip Designers Prize was instigated by CSD's Patron, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, in 1959 and is organised annually by The Design Council.
The award is made to a British designer or design-team leader whose exemplary work has had an effect on the perception of design by the public, and on the status of designers in society.
