New Philly Roller Girls Poster

Roller Derby Double Header

Here's one of the newest pieces that I've worked on. It is another poster (and flyer) for the Philly Roller Girls for an upcoming Roller Derby Double Header. This was a Michele Melcher Illustration / Primer collaboration. I did the illustration, they did the design and set the type. I thought it would be nice to create something a little different than the last two posters that I have done for PRG. We conjured up images and elements of the past. It's kind of an homage to the 1950's ad, what with the cheeky housewife in her ruffly apron whose just too happy to open up and cook her handy dandy can of whoop ass. The type faces are also similar to the kind of fonts that you might see in old advertisements. The Philly Roller Girl's logo is incorporated into the illustration. I know that there's a ton of type on it but that's because they have a ton of ticket and sponsor information that needed to be included. Overall, I think Primer sorted it out and made it work well and it looks awesome. Keep an eye out for it if you are in downtown Philly!
