The Colorado Dragon Boat Festival did a crowdsourcing campaign to have their 2009 poster designed, and this was my submission. Denver skyline, complete with purple mountains, and a dragon boat rowing across towards a Colorado flag. In retrospect I wish I had done this in a vector based program like Illustrator instead of Photoshop, but it was still a blast to focus on such strong color planes, and outlined illustration using a graphic tablet.
