With totalBarça’s three year anniversary, we wanted to treat ourselves with something nice. Not that contributing to UNICEF wasn’t a great enough gift.
We had the pleasure of working with Dan Leydon, who is a designer that contributed to Graham Hunter’s award winning book - Barça: The Making of the Greatest Team in the World (BackPage Press). What sort of project did we end up working on with Dan? You will have to continue reading to find out…
Dan Leydon‘s newest comic in his Barça series features FC Barcelona legend Xavi honing his skills in home town Terrassa. Check it out after the jump.
Leydon’s Barca DNA illustration in Barca: The Making of the Greatest Team in the World
January 31, 2012 marked the ebook release of a much-anticipated and must-have title among cules – Barcelona-based Scot journalist Graham Hunter’s Barca: The Making of the Greatest Team in the World. Hunter looks at the club’s recent successful period under Pep Guardiola by going back in time to the Johan Cruyff era and analyses how Barca’s sterling style emerged under the legendary Dutch player. The book ”takes you on to the pitch and the training ground, inside the dressing room and along the corridors of power of FC Barcelona” to better understand how Barca became the Spanish, European and World champions. Apart from Hunter’s keen observations and in-depth analysis, the book also features fine black-and-white artwork by Dan Leydon, a designer based in Strandhill, “a surfing village” on the West coast of Ireland.
