This poster is very realistic and it’s successful in getting the message across to the audience. It appears to be done in illustrator, filling in the bike tires with the earth-drawn pattern, and the use of the pen tool to create the figure on the bike. If I were to replicate this poster, I would likely use the pen tool, draw two ellipses (using shift to make a perfect circle) and then increase stroke sizes for the tire rims to show the black, finally filling in the circles with the earth pattern created.

I think this poster was a great use of illustrator. It uses all curves, and could easily be replicated by using the pen tool. It sticks to the general shape instead of the individual details, as we talk about in class. Overall, the poster is very simple yet very effective.
I agree, i think the pen tool is a wonderful asset to the creation of this picture. i love how just two circles and a person can make the image of a bike without actually having to make the bike.
