LIFE DOESN’T END HERE BY KIE CAREW

via Kie Carew: “Newspaper design based on footballer Andres Escobar’s assassination after he scored an own goal playing for Colombia in World Cup 94.

The relationship of football and drugs in Colombia means that you cannot tell the stroy of Andres Escobar without telling the story of Pablo Escobar and the drug cartels.

The tabloid format by their nature are sensationalist in their editorial voice. The shape of Colombian newspapers are traditionally very narrow. The body copy is typeset in Nimrod which is used in Colombia’s largest selling daily newspaper ‘El Tiempo.’

Cold hard stats illustrate the stories surrounding both Escobar’s lives, because statistics are used so often in football to tell the story of a match.”
