He was known for his work with Fletcher/Forbes/Gill as a designer, his production work on films by the animator, Ray Harryhausen and as an author. His book "Forget All the Rules You Ever Learned About Graphic Design—Including the Ones in This Book" was first published in 1981 and was according to Steve Heller of Print magazine, "It vividly represented Gill’s irrepressible, rebellious wit". The Branvetica said of the book: "...encapsulated his philosophy that design should be about solving problems creatively rather than adhering to established norms."
