A New Truth Every Month. Video intro for a magazine / website called ANTEM that I made for a college project. The project examines the relationship between type and image. It looks at how type can influence the interpretation of an image. It can load the meaning of the image in the viewers mind. The magazine and website uses the style of a high end fashion editorial.
LIFE DOESN’T END HERE
ISTD college project based on the Andres Escobar assassination after he scored an own goal playing for Colombia in World Cup 94.
The relationship of football and drugs in Colombia means that you cannot tell the stroy of Andres Escobar without telling the story of ‘El Padrino’ Pablo Escobar. Football in Colombia would never have been at the level it was going into the 1994 World Cup in America as favourites, without the money pumped into the game by Pablo Escobar and the drug cartels.
The project is based on newspaper design because in newspapers the news stories run from the front and the sports stories are on the back pages. I thought this would make for an intersting medium to tell two interlinking stories. The Andres Escobar could be told from the back page and Pablo Escobar’s story could be told from the front.
The format I chose to tell the stories was a tabloid format because tabloids by their nature are sensationalist in their editorial voice. I used the shape of Colombian newspapers which are traditionally very narrow. The body copy is typeset in Nimrod which is used in Colombia’s largest selling daily newspaper ‘El Tiempo.’
I wanted to use cold hard stats to illustrate some of the stories surrounding both Escobar’s lives, because statistics are used so often in football to tell the story of a match.
