Preliminary sketches, the first which was chosen to be the Air Race Classic Program!
Alongside the Felts Field Neighbor Day marketing material I made, I also created the back cover for the Air Race Classic's official program. The 2025 Air Race Classic is an annual women's air racing event that has occurred for nearly over 100 years; prominent female pilots such as Amelia Earhart have raced in this event.
For the program, I wanted to feature specific aircraft. Each aircraft represents a type of air racer: The Cessna 172 is a very popular trainer aircraft I picked to signify collegiate racers, like me! The Cirrus SR20 is a modern but popular GA aircraft signifying the future of aviation. And lastly, the M20 Mooney is a more vintage aircraft that is also very commonly seen flying in the Air Race Classic.
The final design for the 2025 program!
