Baltimore Sports Classics

Posted in: Graphic Design, Illustration, Latest News and Art |

So I had the pleasure of being assigned the task to create an ad for the Baltimore Sun newspaper promoting the holiday re-airing of some local Bmore sports classics. Cal Ripken’s Ironman game (2131), the BALTIMORE Colts’ championship games in 1958 & 1959, and some Preakness highlights.

I created a series of 3 images and collaged them together for the ad. I did these entirely in Illustrator. Considering the hard deadline I was on, I think they turned out really well. The ads will run in the 12/23, 12/24, and 12/25 editions of the Sun. Be sure to check them out in the Sports section. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek. Click the images to enlarge.
