A New Design Each Year.
I create the Poker Run shirt design each year. This selection shows the 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027 event designs. Each edition gives the Jeep and playing-card themes a new treatment.

THE CREATIVE CHALLENGE
An Event, Drawn Into One Graphic.
Combine an illustrated vehicle, event information, and several visual themes into a graphic that remains recognizable across different print treatments.
MY ROLE
Event Illustration, Typography and Layout, Apparel Presentation, and Print/Embroidery Production.
I handled the illustration and layout work and developed the print variations. The saved artwork provides a useful view of the full-color direction and alternate treatments.

Explore Print Treatments
The variation sheet compares monochrome and color directions. Seeing them together makes it easier to assess which details survive as the palette changes.

Review the Design as a Family
The composition and variation sheet provide a shared reference for the event identity and apparel applications. This draft presents those designs without treating the artwork sheet as a photograph of finished garments.
