Assets & Details

Our artistic direction emphasizes the rugged nature of cross country running by incorporating mud as a central graphic element.

The visuals feature earthy textures and splashes, contrasting deep brown tones with vibrant oranges to create a striking effect.

The imagery captures athletes battling the elements, with a clear hierarchy: the previous winner is prominently displayed in the foreground, followed by other notable figures in the sport.

This approach aims to authentically represent the challenging essence of cross country running, highlighting the determination and resilience of the athletes.
