Diagramatic



A work colleague showed me some old board games he had knocking around the other day. These diagrams came from the instructions to a sub-subbuteo football game based on tiddlywinks. Due to the haircut and clothes of the guy playing table top football with two perfectly happy and grinning children on the photo on the box, we guessed the game dated from the 1960s.



What is it about the combination of sans serif, geometry, dotted lines, arrows, and red & black that will always appeal to me?

Happen it appeals because of the use of the word "Ball" as well ??!!

Not convinced about the Ball arguement, but being 3/4" away from blue is disturbing.
