Design Project

Occasionally a really cool design project will fall into my lap.

This one just came out of nowhere and it's still a work in progress.

I decided on a format that included the product name, who made it and I included a product review blurb I found online. I specifically looked for product reviews from well-known periodicals. While I found a lot of great reviews I couldn’t find a review for everything we had on hand. What to do. What to do. What to do. I couldn’t just make something up so I decided to look for some quotes about bicycles. With a little snooping around I found some great quotes about cycling from literary sources, Hemingway mostly, and from some well-known cyclists, specifically Eddy Merckx and Jacquie Phelan. With our new signage customers that didn’t want a hands-on approach with sales were able to help the
