Artists to design 2012 Olympics posters, but no designers?

traceyeminwithpastgamesposters_0.jpgToday I cam across the news that twelve british artists have been selected to design the posters for the 2012 Olympic Games. The artists include Tracey Emin, Chris Ofili, Fiona Banner, Michael Craig-Martin, Martin Creed, Anthea Hamilton, Howard Hodgkin, Gary Hume, Sarah Morris, Bridget Riley, Bob and Roberta Smith and Rachel Whiteread. Their works will shown in a free exhibition at Tate Britain as part of the London 2012 Festival, and will go on sale this autumn (more here).


This is a great idea but couldnt some designers have been chosen too? What do you think?
