Diego eterno by Cracks ediciones
Diego eterno (“Eternal Diego”) is a large-format book devoted entirely to the controversial sporting life of Argentine football idol Diego Armando Maradona (1960–2020), “widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport”. The book features more than 400 photographs of the player who scored, in the same match (the 1986 World Cup in Mexico), a goal with his hand (known as “the hand of God”) and a goal widely regarded as one of the greatest in football history.
Art direction, design and editorial production were overseen by Chilean editorial designer Paula Barahona Vicencio, head of Estudio Vicencio. The book was typeset using two families: Krana Fat by Schick Toikka for titles and Lira Sans by Quintana-Font for general texts, quotes, and captions.
This full-page photograph captures one of the most iconic and controversial moments in football history.
“I scored it a bit with the head and a bit with the hand of God” —Diego Maradona.
