I love F1 and decided to challenge myself on a hot summer evening: design a vintage F1 poster!
POSTER DESIGN
It was so much fun checking out the old F1 posters and getting inspired to design my own version of one of this iconic events. Instead of taking a race that happened, I decided to make one of an event that never took place: the San Francisco Grand Prix.
After creating the car, I made the background and really aimed to give it a vintage vibe. I’m absolutely in love with the end result. It looks great, and I’m super proud of how my personal challenge turned out.

However, it was not without challenges, as exemplified by Niki Lauda’s remarkable comeback after a near-fatal crash in 1976. The late ’70s remains a pivotal and unforgettable chapter in the history of Formula 1.
