Check out Time Magazine's slideshow of all 19 official FIFA World Cup posters, which runs from the first World Cup back in 1930 to the action happening right now down in South Africa. It offers a great retrospective of graphic design trends over the last 80 years. From Swiss Modernism to Punk and Post Modern, this collection of posters shows how far graphic designers have come in terms of their aesthetics and technical capabilities. This retrospective also demonstrates the timelessness of fundamental design principles like balance, contrast, and arrangement.
