Poster attuned to mini-marathon
BY OWEN FINDSEN
The Cincinnati Enquirer
“It's tied to the theme of fine tuning,” says illustrator John Maggard, creator of the poster for the 2000 Cincinnati Heart Mini-Marathon.
This is the 23rd running of the American Heart Association's Cincinnati Heart Mini-Marathon and the 20th poster Mr. Maggard has done for the annual event. This year it's March 26.
“I just did a lot of tuneable things, an old radio dial, musical instruments, with a kind of bandy-legged guy tying up his running shoes.”
The poster is really in tune with Mr. Maggard's studio in his Terrace park home, where he keeps his collection of musical instruments, including the electric organ shown in the poster.
“I'm getting crowded out by the stuff I collect,” he says.
Each year collectors await the new poster, which always adds a twist to the concept of the race. The 1999 poster, which showed a corn field, is included in the Society of Illustrators National Exhibition in New York. It was printed by the Merten Co.
The new poster costs $10. It will be available at the Mini-Marathon clinic, March 25, and at the Mini-Marathon, March 26.
It is also available from the American Heart Association, 2936 Vernon Place, Avondale, 281-4048; at Ronckers Running Spot, 1993 Madison Road, O'Bryonville, 321-3006; and at www.cinheartminimarathon.org and www.runningspot.com. Posters from past years also are available at the Heart Association.
