Marathon Ad

Click here to view my design for what was supposed to be the marathon ad for the C-ville Weekly and the Hook. It was altered (not by me) to include the official logo / a few other things and the design at the top was omitted. I just didn't want this one to go to waste.

The new version also has Mistral font...
