Women's Gold Medalists Rio 2016
Illustrate all the women who will win gold medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
While watching the 2012 London Olympics, I was awestruck by the athleticism of the female athletes as well as their physical diversity. Given how little media coverage there is of female athletes, I thought it would be interesting to create a visual infographic depicting each athlete’s sport, country, physical attributes and their accomplishments.
Inspiring girls & young women. Women's Gold medalists is an illustrated book & poster of all the women who won gold medals at the Rio Olympics. It is a juxtaposition of sport, women and design as well as a documented celebration of female achievements.
With access to the London Olympics website, information was aggregated for the 276 women who won gold medals. Each Olympian is featured dressed in their athletic uniform, wearing their medal, lined up in height order.
The illustrations have been kept simple and graphic but with lots of personalising details.
