Scottish Cup Final
150th Anniversary Programme Cover
2024
Programme cover design for the 150th Anniversary Scottish Cup Final between Celtic and Rangers on 25th May 2024.

Front Cover
The ambition was to create a dramatic composition that was fitting of the occasion and the teams involved. This was to be the first Scottish Cup Final contested between the Old Firm in 22 years.
​
I also wanted the cover to hero the trophy, the oldest in association football, given the significance of the anniversary.
Back Cover
The brief included a design for the back cover, listing every previous winner of the trophy. This was a nice touch and required careful formatting to ensure a consistent and clean appearance. The trophy features as a subtle detail in the background at a bigger scale than the front cover.
Social Media
In addition to the cover, a winners graphic was requested for each team for the purpose of social media. On this occasion the Celtic version was shared across SFA channels after a 1-0 victory.
