This poster was designed and produced by Georgetown student Christian “Chris” Simms to commemorate the Georgetown men's basketball team’s 1984 NCAA championship win. Simms began creating posters that featured images of Georgetown’s campus during his sophomore year as a way to help pay for tuition. He later created the Ewing poster as his first sports-oriented piece. Prints of Simms’s work were sold on campus at the bookstore and at Saxa Sundries (Simms held the position of Director of Advertising for the Corp at the time).
