the Posters
My notion
about any graphic is that it should be magnetic - a poster should
be cool enough that people want to put it up - and it sits on display
in the garage or on the fridge door saying HEY HEY HEY!
all year. When it is a single event like Washougal, the poster's more
important job is happening after event is over. If it is good enough,
the rider wants to leave it up, and it is burning away like a lighthouse
for a whole year, all the while calling the faithful back.
ALL
THE MOTOCROSS POSTERS
Hellfire was our pressman whose hand made
sure the VDR and H&T posters were top notch. Our Pacific NW motocross
scene gives a major thank you to him, starting way back in 1996 for
the first VDR posters - black & white on the old Heidelberg, and
then towards the end on the enormous Lithrone 28, a press worth upwards
of a million dollars. Note the clock in the background- HF working
after hours to make sure the 2007 posters are done and ready to go
by race day morning.
