Classic Isle of Man TT Posters

Megaphones on the Isle! A set of four posters designed and produced by MagentaDot Brands to mark the Velocette Racing New Zealand, Isle of Man Classic TT 2014 campaign. The quality action photos feature Bill Swallow whistling round the mountain course aboard the handbuilt Eldee-2 250 Special Velocette in the Isle of Man Classic T.T. Junior race, August 26, 2014. The posters were gifted to the project sponsors and supporters-in-kind as a premium acknowledgement of support and thanks. To finish the presentation and add value to the posters Bill Swallow signed a numbered edition of 25 of each of the four kinds.

The action photos were taken at four signature locations on the Isle of Man course, two renowned corners; The Cregg, and The Bungalow and airborne exiting Ballaugh Bridge. The design and typography of the posters and the Eldee Velocette branding are an homage to the style of Isle of Man T.T. posters from the 50s and 60s.

Available in A2 and a3 size, enquiries; hello@magentadotbrands.com
