OLYMPIC MEGA POSTI missed covering any of the design that took place during the London 2012 Olympics. Rather than post lots of things you’ve no doubt already seen I thought I’d put together just one post with a collection of things that caught my eye whilst the games were happening.Above: The Olympic London 2012 Typegace by Michael Ives 7 Gareth Hague The Boston Big Picture on photographic coverage. 17 Days of Summer by Jordan Chung Jamie McGregor Smith’s photography series of Athens after the 2004 Olympics. New York Times infographic showing the individual positions of each and every Olympic medalist in the men’s 100m sprint, dating right back to Athens in 1886. Specsavers quick advertisement response to the flag error made early on in the games. MedalCount.com put together a simple and effective site design to track the medal victories of each countries during the games. The Walls Have Ears by Bread Collective. Collaborating with the local community, Bread, a creative collective based in East London, has just completed a 100 metre long typographic mural along a street that leads to London’s Olympic Park… There were plenty of other design highlights, but these were the ones that happened to get bookmarked.
