This poster explores the history and symbolism of the Olympic medal by combining historical research with information design. Inspired by the Olympic motto, Citius Altius Fortius ("Faster, Higher, Stronger"), the piece translates complex historical data into a visual narrative that connects the Games' classical origins with their modern legacy.
A half-pie chart highlights the five countries with the most Olympic gold medals, using scaled flags and typography to reflect each nation's share. A timeline below traces the evolution of Olympic medal designs from 1904 to 2024, illustrating how their visual identity has changed over time. To reinforce the historical theme, the design incorporates a Latin title, the Trajan typeface, and a subtle stone texture inspired by Greco-Roman architecture, visually bridging the ancient roots of the Olympic Games with the modern era.
