As if anyone needs a reason other than the fact that it’s the greatest pleasure on Earth, Eric Nolan has silkscreened a “Ride Your Bike” poster almost as awesome as the act itself. He echoes both the grit and grace of bike riding by using hand-drawn letters to create a raw texture in contrast to the elegant structural elements of each character. Peddle away. Perhaps not noticeable on the pictures is a split fountain on the red poster, creating a subtle gradient.
Eric Nolan of Flatland Kitchen asked me to design a poster for his Ride Your Bike series of silkscreen prints. Inspired by Chinese cut paper and incorporating cycling-related elements. As an avid cyclist, I jumped at the chance to design a poster encouraging others to get outside and ride a bike for fun, exercise, transportation, or any other reason.
This post was published in the original layout of FPO so all images are smaller. Project descriptions as well as production lessons are quoted in the main content area.
