I was honored to be asked to be one of the 20 commissioned artists for this project. I\'ve been an athlete all my life, so I could easily get in the mindset of creating a sports-related poster. As a female golfer, I was drawn to the story behind Althea Gibson, who broke barriers in tennis as well as golf, and whose barrier-breaking actions paved the way not just for people of color, but for women AND men. It was because of Althea Gibson that Arthur Ashe could accomplish what he did. The concept came easy to me from this history. These two greats brought color to the tennis world. Simple as that. Whatever I did, I wanted to showcase that. Using the most significant years of their accomplishments, I set up a contrast between the black and white iconic images and the full color versions, which were overlayed only within the font. Essentially, bringing color to tennis in those years. — Alexis Lampley
