Kickstarter is the world's largest funding platform for creative projects. Every week, tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields.
A new form of commerce and patronage.
This is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.
All or nothing funding.
On Kickstarter, a project must reach its funding goal before time runs out or no money changes hands. Why? It protects everyone involved. Creators aren’t expected to develop their project without necessary funds, and it allows anyone to test concepts without risk.
Each and every project is the independent creation of someone like you.
Projects are big and small, serious and whimsical, traditional and experimental. They’re inspiring, entertaining and unbelievably diverse. We hope you agree... Welcome to Kickstarter!
Thanks! All done.
Selected my shipping option, payed my $12, but haven't received jack yet. Nice to know that the "vast majority" have received their posters, though. I'm sure you weren't intending to make us feel bad ;) Sigh...
Deroy - although I sent my shipping payment to you guys, I still havent received my poster. Any status? Thanks.
Hey, I paid shipping through paypal on Aug. 18th. When should I expect the delivery?
(Customer service is fun, isn't it? ha)
Hi Deroy
I haven't received my poster, do you have a tracking number??
/thanks, j
Thank you Sarah!

Just wanted to say that I absolutely love my poster! What a fantastic way to remember the 2010 Cup. I look forward to explaining the significance of the World Cup to people through the poster hanging up in my house. Great job!
A quick reminder to those of you who haven't received your posters yet. Make sure you choose a shipping option here: hyperakt.com/clients/worldcup/shipping.html
Cheers,
Deroy
I still haven't received my poster. Also, I paid $25, did that include shipping?
mine hasnt arrived yet and will like to know what is going on, it has been almost four weeks
Has anyone received their posters yet? Mine hasn't come in the mail and I'm starting to worry that something's up...:(
the shipping to stephen honer is under my husbands name and my order was under diana popowycz
just to avoid and potential confusion:) thanks my soccer playing/loving son is really looking forward to this poster
any way I can send $25 more and get a second poster put into the same shipping tube? I know its last minute and probably not...just thought I's ask.

Carla, it will look pretty much like what you see here. Five colors refers to CMYK + a silver spot color. CMYK is the standard 4 color ink process used to print full color images. The fifth color, silver, is a premixed metallic ink that will printed instead of grey.
Thanks for the support!

I love this piece! I'm excited about seeing the final product. I'm giving the poster to my brother for his birthday, but his birthday is tomorrow and I'm wondering if I printed out the pic from the main page to show him what he will be getting, how close that will be to the final poster...like what does it mean by "5 colors"? Thanks!
P.S... I know the balls for this cup were horrific, but it may be a nice touch...
I quite like the PDF idea. Have you considered putting the official match balls somewhere on the poster? I know there are usually two - one for the matches and one for the final. Shipping costs?
I'd like to second the comment about doing one of these for every world cup - I think some sort of time-series for a specific country and their world cup success or failure would be interesting.
Shipping costs? Included or extra?
Espana!
For the previous World Cups, I suggest a world map with your circular bracket design over the location where the final game was played. It would be a big map, but very cool!
The pdf is an interesting idea. Let me give that one some thought.

It will be printed sustainably! This is where it will be printed:

We've worked with them for years and they do excellent work.

BTW, could we just get a PDF for a smaller pledge, something like $10?
Excellent design! Would be great if you would consider printing the poster sustainably, i.e. on 100% recycled stock and using another color instead of silver.
You should do it also for the previous cups, as it looks like someone else suggested. This year has been pretty poor for many bigs. I would buy the 2006 ;)
Will you be including the PK scores?
Good stuff :) I appreciate the outline of South Africa is probably not recognised by many people, so it's a good opportunity to fix that. If you need to identify it more clearly, there's always the vuvuzela :)
Gavin,
Great comment. This is something I'm aware of and was planning to update. I'm working on anotherpiece that compiles the history of all 19 world cups which will include a consistent identity set for all the tournaments. The logo ontheposter will be updated before it goes to press.
Cheers,
D
Em, that's not a graphic of South Africa :) it'd be like using a graphic of the whole of Europe for the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
This is a great idea! The layout is a great way to represent all the different Groups. ESPN's World Cup site was dreadfully useless...
I would love to! It had actually occurred to me. I'll give it some thought so its feasible to print them. I'll let you know what I come up with. Thanks for the suggestion and for the pledge!
D
Could you do one of these for every World Cup? It would be a beautiful series.
That's in there. The teams in the group ring are organized by rank and labeled 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, etc.
D
i think it goes, left to right with 1st place on the left within the group.
Hey Deroy,
Adding the scores is a great idea, I was thinking something similar, how do I know USA was first place in its bracket above England? would love to see that as well...
thanks!
