This poster was created for the Ann Arbor Hot Rod Shopping Cart Race, a playful and high-energy event where participants race using decorated shopping carts—often dressed as daredevils in themed costumes.
My concept was to visually connect the race to its everyday setting: the supermarket. I illustrated a large, familiar shopping bag to serve as the main visual element, symbolizing the origin of the carts. To emphasize the racing aspect, I replaced the typical shopping cart wheels with bold racing tires.
I also designed custom racing-inspired typography to match the high-speed, quirky spirit of the event.
