Hyperakt, an independent NYC design studio, has designed a radial bracket documenting the results of the 2010 World Cup. We thought soccer-obsessed designers like us might like to have a copy of it in the form of a beautifully printed poster. The poster was printed thanks to the pledges of supporters on Kickstarter, where in one month the project received 244% funding from 230 backers! You can see photos of the poster on press here.

The good news is you can still get a print of the poster. We printed a limited edition of 500 24′ X 36′ posters and 500 18′ X 24′ posters. The posters are printed in CMYK plus a spot silver ink on an 80lb cover uncoated, 100% recycled Astrolite stock. The larger posters are $40 + shipping and the smaller ones $25 + shipping. You can get them here:

Spain’s play was dazzling in World Cup semi-final victory over Germany, but the goal that got them through to the final came from the head of defender Carles Puyol. Puyol, who is an FC Barcelona defender is one of the most passionate players to play the sport in recent memory. He is diehard gladiator who would do anything for his team.

Puyol’s most recognizable physical feature is his curly mane. Many who admire Puyol’s efforts on the field have questioned his coiffure choice. My friend Meghan’s Facebook post yesterday inspired me to conduct an experiment. Should Puyol borrow a new do from one of his more polished looking teammates? You decide:
