Motorcycle Subculture Billboard & Web Banner Final Crit

Updated Design

Message:
OpenRoadJourney.com will provide you with the means to get out there on the road to  see America. If you document your trip and submit it to the site they will pay you for your adventure. 

Rider Lingo:
Hammer Down -
“Full throttle all the way”

Values:
• Patriotism - America
• Independence - Getting out of the city
• Socializing - Sharing great roads with other bikers.

Goals:
• Financing - Keep taking trips.
• Financing - Bike customizing.

Visual Approach:
• Image of the Rocky Mountains an American landmark that I took myself on a road trip. 
• Dusty / Treated image to reflect the motorcycle vintage & historical roots. Especially regarding cross country trips. Easy Rider
• Rain drops & Reflective Flare helps create the feeling of one being behind the wind screen or looking through a helmet.

The bike is not in the image because the coded language of Hammer Down speaks to the bikers without giving away the message to those who are not part of the motorcycle sub-culture.
