Georgia's national basketball team for EuroBasket

Ten illustrated posters, one for every player and one for the whole team, made when Tbilisi co-hosted EuroBasket 2022.

Home court

The tournament opened on 31 August with a ceremony in Rike Park, where a fan zone was set up for the games. The next day Georgia played Belgium in Tbilisi.

The posters had to be as loud as that crowd: one for each player, recognisable at a glance, and one for the whole team.

About

I illustrated Georgia's national team for the tournament: a poster for each of nine players and one for the whole team, each also made as a square for social media. Every poster follows one visual system I designed, so the series reads as one team.

One recipe

Every poster is built the same way. The shirt number stands huge and white behind the player, broken up by shards of one bold colour. Halftone dots shade skin and kit, and the five crosses of the Georgian flag show through every shirt.

Each player gets a colour of their own, so the series reads as one team of very different characters.

Nine players, seven colours, one team
