portfolio & design blog of logo & identity designer, Graham Smith

David Watson, a graphic designer from Trebleseven sent in his stunning typographic football World Cup poster for me to share on my website. Not being particularly fond of football it would take a lot to get me to post about it. My first reaction was OMG. Colour, bold, lovely typography and beautifully designed. Then the clincher, the poster is all in a good cause.
David created the post to support Soccer Aid. Sales of the A1 double sided poster raises money for Soccer Aid – a British charity event which raises money for UNICEF.
The front side of the poster (below) lists all the groups, A-H so you can clearly see which countries are in which group. A calendar runs down the right hand side listing chronologically all the matches to be played in the tournament:
Front – UNICEF worldcup calendar poster

Reverse – UNICEF worldcup calendar poster

I want that poster
The A1 double sided poster, produced in collaboration with G&B printers and PhoeniXmotion paper, is currently on press but will be available to buy soon for the princely sum of £10 (£7 for the print, £3 for post/packaging).

Love it!
Yes, it is rather splendid. Still not enough for me to like football though. :)
