Brief for Magazine Cover Design Competition

Design a cover for the 49th staging of the Carifta Games

  • For the last 50 years, junior track and field athletes from 27 territories in what is called CARIFTA have competed fiercely for honours on the track and in the field. The Bahamas, Bermuda and Jamaica are the only countries that have won that prestigious title. The event started in Barbados and over the last 50 years have been hosted in the major track and field facilities across the region. This region is full of colour and excitement and lends itself to a wide range of intense performances from athletes all 20 and under.

Cover design should depict that energy while identifying the venue, dates and theme – Home of Future Stars.
