A limited edition set of posters commissioned by the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee includes one for the 1984 Summer Olympics created by April Greiman and Jayme Odgers.  Athletes from 140 countries competed in the Games, including notable Americans Carl Lewis and Mary Lou Retton. Visually representing the Olympics and simultaneously commemorating the event, this poster serves as both an artifact and a cultural relic of the games.
