Havinden was a graphic designer who joined the Crawford Agency in London when he was only eighteen. Just a few years later, he became the company's creative director. He "endorsed the ideas of the Bauhaus, such as the use of asymmetry and white space as part of a dynamic composition. In 1927, the team devised a campaign for Eno's Fruit Salt. The imagery used in both poster and press advertisements depicted three horsemen whose lances carried banners bearing the copy. The asymmetrical layout created a dynamic yet united design. The sense of movement suggested the beneficial effect of the product on health" (V&A). Weill 420, Encyclopedie de l'Affiche p. 90.
