The Sandy Koufax Grotesk Project 2020 card is now available through Topps and it follows a similar minimalist design he used for the Jackie Robinson card released just a couple of weeks back -- check out that card on the left.Grotesk uses a pictograph of two persons holding up a portrait of the ballplayer -- while using a font resembling Hebrew writing. No doubt an homage to Sandy's Jewish heritage.
The graphic design itself is reminiscent of a poster you might see in a bus stop or train/subway station. It's approachable and simple, while at the same time emphasizes that this person is to be honored and respected.

ReplyDeleteI really like Grotesk's approach to this design; it feels both modern and deeply respectful. The use of Hebrew-style font quietly acknowledges Koufax's ancestry, and the composition is reminiscent of a custom dissertation poster, meticulously crafted to highlight the subject's legacy with clarity and purpose.
ReplyDeleteGrotesk's Koufax card is a visual tribute, indeed! The Hebrew-esque font choice is a clever nod. Minimalist, yet powerful, like a vintage public service announcement. I recall facing a similar design challenge when I had to create a poster series for our community event, I tried to reflect the diversity of the population. My mission was to encapsulate unity while acknowledging individual differences which became a block breaker for me in terms of creativity!
ReplyDeleteThe wellensteyn jacke damen is one of those rare finds that combines fashion and function perfectly. I’ve worn mine in heavy snow, and it kept me warm without any dampness seeping in. The inner lining is soft against the skin, and the outer shell is very resistant to wear and tear.
