Over the summer, illustrator Sam Chivers had the great privilege of doing a series of 6 posters for the Lawn Tennis Association (the governing body for tennis in Great Britain).
A satisfying experience, Sam admitted to having creative conversations around depicting the crowd (which is a tricky thing to depict in any illustrated poster). “Being something of a maximalist my initial strategy was to go more detailed, but crowds are so visually noisy we had to pare them back to make the images more legible.” The final posters are iconic, bright depictions of various tennis tournaments overseen by the LTA.
