Preliminary sketches made for the event
I had the honor of creating the marketing for Spokane (my hometown!) International Airport's 2025 Felts Field Neighbor Day event. Neighbor Day is an annual event in which local aviation groups and other organizations come together to celebrate aviation, food trucks gather, enjoy static displays, and helicopter rides. This year's neighbor day also coincides with the 2025 Air Race Classic, 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.
As we had the Air Racers flying into this event, we wanted to feature aircraft commonly seen in the Air Race, as well as representing the women who fly it. 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.
I created a billboard, postcard, and poster designs for the event to be used as promotional material around Spokane, Washington. The final design features prominent landmarks around Spokane. Hope to see you there!
