Skate or Die!

Above is the two skateboards I have designed, the one on the left is the Conceptual Lead design, as I wanted to do something with the City and on the right is the Typography design. 

With the left design I chose to take a photograph in Central London in Trafalgar Square and do a long exposure showing the light trail. I chose to use the 80s style skateboard as I feel like it showed more for the photograph.

On the right, I chose to use the quote 'Don't Stop The Beat'. I don't really have a reason for choosing this, as I just like the quote. As final skateboard, I don't feel as if i made it the best I could. Now that I'm looking back at it, I feel as if there is too much going on. Maybe I should have just kept it more simple. I chose to use the 70s style board.

Here are another two skate boards I have designed. The one on the left is the Purely Decorative design, and the one on the right is the design I had to make for someone. I Chose my little sister.

On the left, I chose to keep it floral and a bit more girly, as I feel that there aren't many female boards out. I kept it blue as I didn't want to make it too feminine and the different shades gave it a different effect. I chose to use the 00s style board.

On the right, is the design i created for my little sister. She is really into an online game called 'Maple Story' and I chose to base the board on the different characters from the game. I went on their website to get some inspiration as I don't really know much about it myself and I saw a range of characters and chose to mix and match the looks around and come up with a few character designs for the skate board it self. It took a really long time as I wanted to make sure they looked like Maple Story characters and not just any cartoon characters. I chose to put this on a 90s board.
