Cusden was 'engaged during the war in the design of
propaganda posters and as Art Advisor to the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Accidents' (ROSPA), and post war
on designing accident prevention posters. He worked
with H.G. Winbolt, producing sixty to seventy posters
a year for ROSPA, for distribution to factories. Designs
tended to originate as 'mind pictures or actual happenings'
rather than an illustrated thought. He also hired other
artists for poster design, and worked with Tom
Eckersley
