Just read about these posters over at Tracko this morning. A real nice idea by Music design in Manchester for a collection by Grafik magazine to celebrate the 2012 olympics and a nod to all the amazing design that has accompanied some of the events in the past.
"We were asked to design a poster for BMX, which was a stroke of genius/fate because Manchester is the home of British Cycling and Team GB. We enlisted the help of 3 young members of Manchester BMX Club and their coach Sam Foakes (former World No.1 Flatland BMX Champion) who helped us 'make the posters'. It's them on the bikes in the film...not us...we'd have fallen off!
We then persuaded Olympic 2010 BMX hopeful (and Manchester based) Shanaze Reade to sign 100 of them. All proceeds going to the British Paralympic Fund and the charity Right To Play."
Images and text from BikeType, which is well worth a look- The poster, along with 29 others is available to buy here.
