CoF Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 The coverage from MFC on social media has always been great, but the recent matchday artwork is absolutely amazing and worthy of a special mention. Who makes this stuff?? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I don't know, but couldn't agree more. Been hugely impressed with it this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 The design and typography are superb. I think the guy that does them is a young graphic designer from the Carluke/Lanark area. (unfortunately I can’t remember his name) He clearly has a talent for poster design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I have just remembered the guys name, it’s Alastair Reilly and he is from Carluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browni Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Agreed UBH, they are superb. Not sure if it was Twitter or P&B but somebody commented on his attention to small detail such as the Killie Rose being incorporated into the design.

underboyleheating Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I am not sure if the guy is employed by Motherwell to do these designs, however, I would be very surprised if he is doing them for nothing. They have been created using photoshop and possibly with some help from adobe illustrator/indesign. I use photoshop on a daily basis and know the time that it can take to produce this stuff. He is clearly influenced by vintage travel posters from the 1930s/40s/50s. As a lover of all things retro I think they are superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Looking forward to seeing the St. Mirren one! What's memorable from there? Gilmour St station? Paisley Abbey, Gerry Rafferty and Big Tam Forsyth - all set on a Paisley Pattern background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoF Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 They could probably shift a fair few of these in the shop if it was an important win i.e, the game that sealed 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Pepper Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Wouldn't mind seeing these on the front of the matchday programmes. Would make a change from just using the players as a front cover. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Agree with Dr Pepper, Ally's stuff is memorable, I think we'd shift a few extra to away fans with stuff like that on the cover, the ICT from the home game (not shown above) was my favourite.

Ya Bezzer! Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I've never seen these before which seems to be a bit of a shame because that's some good graphic design right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe make them available as a digital download for a couple quid. That way the customer can print it any size they want - from a postcard all the way up to a poster, or just use them as desktop backgrounds or for phones and tablets etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well_Jaggy Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 A book of those with match reports on the reverse for each game this season would be fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I like the postcards which Liverpool have been making the day or so after each game this season as they are game specific than place like some of ours Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
