The Mountain Bike Trails of Mount Seymour Poster

A poster to celebrate the mountain bike trails of Mount Seymour. Located in the District of North Vancouver, BC and Mount Seymour Provincial Park, the mountain bike trails here are like no other. As unique as they are to mountain biking, so too are their names: Cardiac Bypass, Severed D, Boogieman and Dirty Diapers to name a few.
After becoming familiar with the trails, I thought of a way I could combine my love of maps and geography, cycling and graphic design into one project. The poster serves as an homage to some of the original "North Shore" trails as well as a great design challenge for myself.

Five dollars from the sale of each poster is donated to the North Shore Mountain Bike Association (NSMBA) for their ongoing efforts of ensuring trails for all and trails forever. Two copies of the poster were also donated to the NSMBA as part of a spring membership drive draw. The poster was also featured in Applied Arts magazine’s weekly “The Brief” newsletter.

This poster was designed over a period of five years. I never knew it would turn into the project that it did. There were weeks, even months where I didn't work on it, but there wasn't a day that went by without me thinking about it.

The majority of the logos were thought up in my head, with many of the ideas hitting paper before hitting the computer. Dirty Diapers was actually a trace of a photo of my daughter I took when she was about six months old.

The Mountain Bike Trails of Mount Seymour

Preliminary sketches for a few of the trails.

The original sketches on my thoughts for the large title text "Seymour." Finding a way to combine the letters together while making enough space within them to add the trees.

One of the trails which was entirely sketched. Initially, that wasn't my intention, but I think it offers up some nice variety and breaks away from all the vector art.
