About the Artwork

Harold Lloyd carries the football across scarlet

The Freshman Harold Lloyd football poster follows the bespectacled comedian as he clutches the ball and strides across a scarlet field. Eric Rohman builds the figure from green, cream and black. Thin pale outlines along the bottom pick up the motion with smaller figures near the edge of the field.

Artwork and design

Lloyd’s round glasses and tucked chin bring his expression into focus, even with the limbs drawn at sharp angles. A strip of green holds the pale players at the base. The black Heja heja heja lettering at the top reads like a cheer over the scene.

About this design

Fred C. Newmeyer and Sam Taylor directed the 1925 silent comedy starring Harold Lloyd and Jobyna Ralston. The film follows a college newcomer whose hopes of fitting in lead him to the football team. The Swedish design makes his effort easy to read through the forward lean and oversized stride.

Rooms and interiors

Use the green and scarlet in a game room, den or home cinema with natural wood and warm white. It can give a display of sports photographs a drawn figure to play against. Leave space at the sides to keep the shape of Lloyd’s stride clear.
