After graduating from the Royal College of Art, Paine left London to work for the Applied Art Department of Edinburgh College of Art, working alongside the distinguished printmaker John Platt. They had a marked influence on each other’s work. Initially designing stained glass for Guthrie and Wells in Glasgow, he subsequently became a prolific designer, most notably of posters – some of his finest work being for London Transport.
