Notes: Puma was one of the first brands to believe in the athlete Usain Bolt, even before he became a legend.
In 2009, Usain Bolt broke the 100m world’s record and made history. But behind this incredible mark, there is a lot of sweat, training and effort. In 2019, ten years later, we wanted to tell this story, showing an angle that few people know. A tribute so outstanding as the world's fastest man.
We created a book, not a normal book, a book as fast as the fastest man in the world, a flip book with his biography in it, showing an animation of 9.58s, recreating the iconic race. Literally, step by step, the whole story behind the race.
The Bolt’s biography features 224 illustrated pages. Each of them represents one frame out of all frames from the 9.58 seconds of the 100m world record. All of the 224 pages have a different design, which relates specifically to the text that is written there. That is why they all bring unique typographies, thought and created to be different and draw attention to the text.
The book was delivered during an event to a hundred of athletes, fans and race influencers. Best of all: Usain Bolt himself came to the event April 4th, 2019, and received the book and the tribute to him.
