To celebrate the 2024 year in cycling, I was approached by Future Publishing to design the cover artwork for their annual Review of the Year special issue.
It was a year under the reign of one spectacular athlete, who made waves each time he appeared at the starting line. Tadej Pogačar not only put his name firmly in the "Greatest of All Time" debate, but also achieved truly remarkable heights when it came to entertaining the fans, providing a riveting show during every Grand Tour stage or one day classic.

The challenge was to create an engaging composition highlighting Pog's biggest triumphs of the year, meaning a wide color palette of the World Champion rainbow, Tour de France's yellow jersey, and Giro's pink leader kit. With such a vibrant set to work with, we landed on a cover as bombastic and energetic as Pogačar exploits themselves.
