Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

Allan Peters designed this poster as part of Artcrank 2012, a Minneapolis-based event that fea­tures hand-made, bike-inspired posters cre­ated by 40 Twin Cities artists. His piece grew out of a love for “badges, crests and vin­tage type lock-ups” and inspi­ra­tion from the vin­tage air museum he recently vis­ited in Alabama (read more about his process here), result­ing in a lock-up of 12 badges rep­re­sent­ing fic­tive MPLS Bike Gangs.

Prints of each piece will be avail­able at the show, with all pro­ceeds going to Springboard for the Arts, a non-profit ded­i­cated to cul­ti­vat­ing a “vibrant arts com­mu­nity by con­nect­ing artists with the skills, con­tacts, infor­ma­tion and ser­vices they need to make a liv­ing and a life.” The event is com­ing up soon on April 14^th — get all the details right here.
