A publishing company that specializes in creating Canada’s largest soccer magazine as well as other misc. marketing assets, such as direct-mail campaigns, trade show material and print related services.
The Mission
To compete and create a world soccer publication suitable for global consumption.
The main challenge, besides competing with other established magazines in the space, was to compete with online resources. It was impossible to report on stats and news so we developed more of a story based publication with a larger format and high quality images where readers can use as posters.
The Design
Kick off to a journey of art direction.
From a design standpoint, the focus was always layout, typography, photography and eyeflow. This was to compliment the stories, round-ups and interviews. The content kept people engaged, the design excited the user to turn the page.
