During this golden period, the humble football programme transformed into a captivating showcase of eye-catching covers and innovative layouts. The football programme has been an integral part of the national game since the Victorian era, but until now, the artists and typesetters responsible for creating these pocket-money priced matchday publications often went uncredited or unnoticed. At the core of this story lies John Elvin, widely regarded as the greatest football programme designer of all time. Elvin defied the traditional rules of layout and typography, employing innovative techniques such as using photos in unique and creative ways. This book not only delves into the life and work of Elvin but also provides a broader cultural and political backdrop of British football during a transformative two decades. From England's World Cup victory in 1966 to the present day, it champions the potential for a new era of programme design, one that embraces creativity, innovation, and recognition for the talented individuals behind the artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 726g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 176 x 247 x 24 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781801508889\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matthew Caldwell,Alan Dein","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45290312007930,"sku":"9781801508889","price":14.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1706898998059_book.jpg?v=1707032799","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/one-shilling-the-football-programme-design-revolution-of-196585-9781801508889","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
