Project Description
A celebration of cycling and a nod to Wyman-style op art of the 1960s.Production Lesson(s)
I had been thinking about bikes and design. As my appreciation grew, Wyman’s legacy had become a daily eyefly. Every time I hear The Black Angels or Alabama Shakes, the Mexico 68 logo pops up in my mind. On each ride, bike signage litters the city and I am reminded of the 1968 Olympics icons. I even found thumbnails of this concept in sketchbooks from years ago.The time was right to extrapolate on Wyman’s design. Read more about the process here.
