WCEU 2014 Sketch notes & stats

We’re head over heels in love with these amazing sketch notes that we spotted in the #wceu feed last Saturday, drawn by the wonderful and talеnted Kristin Kokkersvold from Studio Netting. We loved them so much, that we had to ask her to do us a big favour and make a poster with the WCEU 2014 stats. And she did!

Print out your own from this file and let’s thank Kristin for a job well done!
