for this exploration i matched pantone chips to those colors used by teams that have won world cups.

some connections i found in my readings this week:

"this is how they get generation after generation of young artists to join the profession." -mirko ilic

(ilic had a point- there is something that draws us into a career may it be design as it may be soccer)

"when it can just pop up and the audience roars, then you know you've done that graphic right." -jim hanas, speaking of fake political TV graphics

(getting people to respond takes a lot, as a designer we thrive for others to understand and respond to our work while athletes seek to build a group of fans for success)

"just because you can, doesn't mean you should." -karsten schmidt, speaking about the movent of type and graphics

(just because you are capable of using a program and everything in it does not mean you use it in every design, in soccer you need to vary your technique according to the team you are playing or the position you are in)

"in germany, board games are more than sturdy and beautiful objects, they are a way of life."-blake eskin

(our passions and the dreams we follow become our life)
