Some time after making this work I read this post on Design Observer, which officially declares Baskerville as the typeface of truth.

I've been considering the link between the aesthetic of rugby, and that of Guinness.
This Guinness advert was created by AMV BBDO in 2012.

The Way Sport Looks

Over the past year I have been doing some research into the graphical language associated with different sports, and with sport in general. Wondering if each sport could be seen almost as a brand, with it's own associated design, typography, and visual motifs.

First stop, a football match. These images were taken at the Wolves stadium and museum in January, a trip inspired by images of the new environmental graphics designed by Raw
