This magazine cover for Louisiana Downs Casino was created to promote their annual Louisiana Cup Day program, blending client provided racing visuals with a strong sense of Louisiana flavor. I built a bold, duotone color palette that amplifies motion and intensity and included some Louisiana-inspired elements in the fleur-de-lis pattern and the overlayed New Orleans style balcony in the background. The dynamic typography and angled layout helped convey speed and excitement. This piece won a Silver Addy award at the American Advertising Awards in Shreveport in February 2026.
