Jayme Odgers was a Montana-born artist, photographer, and graphic designer who helped invent a bold new look in modern graphic design.

Jayme Odgers was born in 1939 and grew up in Butte, Montana, where he spent lots of time drawing even though his schools did not offer much art. He later moved to California to study at ArtCenter College of Design, graduating in 1962 with a degree in art, and his first big job was helping design graphics for the IBM Pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair, where he also worked as famous designer Paul Rand's assistant. In the late 1970s and 1980s, Odgers became known for colorful posters and designs that mixed photos, shapes, and words in playful new ways, a style sometimes called the "Pacific Wave," and he even created an official poster for the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. He went on to teach and to make paintings and photographs, and his work has been shown in major museums such as the Brooklyn Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
