Description
Typographic illustration made for Maxim Italy
  • I was asked by Maxim Italy to make a typografic illustration for an article about the eternal seconds in sports. The final idea was a second place medal with its ribbon twirled like a cursive text, saying "eternal".
  • 1ST PART: THE RIBBON
  • A couple of quick sketches, looking for a ribbon-like flow
  • Cleaning the shapes of the logotype
  • Adding some depth
  • a first raw and horrible-looking layout
  • getting some color treatment, adding some details, doubling the ribbon, recoloring the artwork
  • final color layout. But still the medal sucked :-)
  • 2ND PART: THE MEDAL
  • I started with making a custom typography of the "2"
  • some evolutions of the "nd" ligature
  • the final result
  • adding some heavy decoration. The graphic design of the medal is ready
  • this is how it looked like once put in the context
  • 3RD PART: FINAL CHANGES
  • After some feedback the medal got bigger, and the podium went out. Also the general look had to be more texturized
  • The final result
  • detail of the medal
  • detail of the ribbon
  • Graphic Design: Stefano Polli
    Art Direction: Federico Albertini
