I came across Zoran Lucić’s brilliant Sucker for Soccer posters on designspiration the other day and just in time for Copa America. I know we’ve all seen this style before but it always pulls me in. I love how clean typography and a clean layout is enriched by a little abrasion and distress. The perfect formula to bring harmony and balance to a composition. I’m almost more drawn to the textures filling the negative spaces than the content itself. Also, I’m particularly fond of the half-tone, photocopy effect of applied to the photos. It really brings everything together. Overall, it’s a cool project making retro posters for past and modern day football, err, soccer players. A way to capture these legends in time.
And just because I couldn’t get enough, here are a few other amazing miscellaneous posters.
