Title of Design: Retro Peachscape
About the Design: My design pays tribute to the first Peachtree
Road Race in 1970, blending inspiration from the era with a modern feel. I
chose a retro-inspired color palette that reflects the tones of a peach, but
also the colors of the sky. The goal was to create a simple yet bold design
that would be instantly recognizable for such an iconic race.

Occupation: Art Director
Title of Design: Peachy State of Mind
About the Design:
I wanted my design to be fun and to reflect the
energy and excitement that the AJC Peachtree Road Race brings to Atlanta every
year. Even though it's a big city, Atlanta has a really strong sense of
community that you can feel while you're running through each
neighborhood, and being a part of it has become a tradition I look forward to
every year.

Title of Design: A Modern Classic
About the Design: The AJC Peachtree Road Race is the
quintessential Atlanta event and the original shirt design from the 80s is one
of my favorite t-shirts of all time - an absolute classic. This is my homage to
that iconic T-shirt design - a modernized version that celebrates the rich
history of the world's largest and most renowned 10K.

Title of Design: Atlanta Runs Deep
About the Design:
Atlanta Runs Deep is more than just a statement;
it's a tribute to the many people who make the Peachtree Road Race happen every
year. It takes an entire community to put on the world's largest 10K - runners,
volunteers, cheering crews, cleanup teams, police officers, the City of
Atlanta, Atlanta Track Club and the AJC. Every part of Atlanta plays a role in
making the race the great event that it is. My design this year features the
iconic peach with a road running deep through the middle symbolizing the way
this race connects many parts of the city. It's not just about the miles, but
the runners who participate and the people who make it happen. Atlanta
Runs Deep.
