Australian Cyclist magazine



Australian Cyclist is a bi-monthly magazine published by Bicycle New South Wales, a not for profit 
organization promoting recreational cycling. The magazine has a wide readership, but is primarily 
aimed at men aged between 30 and 50. Of course we ha a tight budget and a limited time frame.
    The design needed to be highly legible, energetic and easy to reproduce under tight time frames. 
A simple typographic approach was created with an energetic colour system, simple use of photography 
and the introduction of quirky illustrative elements.
    Michelle French and I collaborated on this project, it was our first large project together. Generally,
we split the project in two(ish) - I worked on the typography, color scheme and layout and Michelle 
on the masthead, illustrations and covers. It's great to see our combination of styles working together.
I still love seeing her fresh apple on the bike seat.
