I was very excited to be commissioned to create a series of posters for Raleigh Bicycles USA. The posters needed to evoke a vintage poster style for three selected cities. The images were to reflect the social nature of cycling, focusing on the relationships or friendships while cycling. The scenes also needed to look fun, inviting and aspirational incorporating recognisable background architectural and landscape elements of the three cities. The bicycles depicted are from their latest 2015 lineup.<br />
<br />
Great art direction was given by Jen Lemmer of Raleigh USA and I am proud to be a part of the Raleigh Bicycle poster archives.<br />

I was very excited to be chosen to create the 2012 US Open Tennis theme image.<br />
The image needed to convey tennis, New York, excitement, along with a global/world feeling type of event.<br />

Travel poster in a 3rd variation. The headline type is Bauhaus Light. I added a BOAC logo, because it is a beautiful logo and fondly remember flying to America in BOAC VC 10's.Michael Cramptonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12238029489598402984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280138167024861695.post-47370850240820909092012-06-26T09:49:00.000-07:002012-06-26T09:49:15.056-07:00Travel Poster<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is my travel poster in an alternate color break.

This retro style travel poster was created for myself, incorporating six travel spot illustrations that were created for AAA Magazine.

I did the Italian coastal village scene in the top right corner. The image is reminiscent of Amalfi but could be any gorgeous Italian town. It wraps around the back slightly. I will post the whole actual illustration above this post.<br />

depicting the exciting race between a couple of the greatest drivers in
Formula 1 history. Jackie Stewart won the race closely followed by
Emerson Fittipaldi in the John Player Special Lotus, perhaps one of the
best looking Formula 1 cars to have been built, especially
graphics/livery wise. Unfortunately for artistic /simplification
purposes, I have omitted cars 3 and 4 (Ronnie Peterson and François
Cevert respectively, but left in a Team Yardley McLaren-Ford car.Michael Cramptonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12238029489598402984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280138167024861695.post-37784658676439274432012-04-18T11:36:00.004-07:002012-04-19T10:06:05.006-07:00Packaging Illustration Idea<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-87Ch9j9ipZ8/T5BF4koeWZI/AAAAAAAAALU/-o3cn908P48/s1600/zoe_birds_pckg.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-87Ch9j9ipZ8/T5BF4koeWZI/AAAAAAAAALU/-o3cn908P48/s320/zoe_birds_pckg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5733159163851069842" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HO9Y23ED5aE/T48JvImdHWI/AAAAAAAAALI/UINrHYEakNA/s1600/zoe_packaging.jpg"></a><br />I wanted to draw some birds, but put them in a sort of packaging layout idea.Michael Cramptonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12238029489598402984noreply@blogger.com0
