HISTORY
Morla Design was chosen to create a poster to publicize San Francisco as the US bid city for the 2012 Olympics with a bold, iconic portrait of an Asian American swimmer. The design references poster art from San Francisco in the 60’s, incorporates a collage of sports, and visually alludes to the cultural diversity of the Bay Area.
