Local Decks [class project]

[part of our Local Skateboards brand we've been building in class]

 

As a contributing member of our group, I had to create 2 skateboard deck designs. I started out with a general Sharpie idea...with shapes that were partly inspired by the Local logo itself.

 

I live-traced it and adjusted the colors [of the one below], and had fun with some custom text, too.

The one below is a little fuzzy, just because I live-traced the thing a little too fast and didn't take time to clean it up much. Not thrilled with the colors... they look a little too vintage/vinyard-ish. :] Kinda wish I did a deep sky blue sort of combination.

 

I got so crazy with this design that I even mocked up a few Tshirts.

 

Just with the "Local" text didn't get covered by the wheel. Haha. Bad planning. If I have to ever design skateboards again, I'll remember that. :]
