DMA179-Skate Deck

For this project we were to create a design for a skate deck.

I started out by doing some research on the different types of interesting skateboard designs:


We were supposed to take from our last project of the dinosaur tooth to inspire us and the theme was predators. I chose to do a dragon theme so I did some research on that as well:

After I did the needed research, I drew out a sketch of what I had in mind for my deck design:


I then went into illustrator and started working on creating my dragon for the skate deck using the pen tool and since blue is my favourite color, I decided to go with that for the color theme:


For the background, I designed a sphere like object that I felt would fit with the image:


Then I placed everything the way I wanted it and picked out the right colors:


I then tried to play around with the possible textures to make the dragon more unique:



I also designed a logo to label my name using my initials:


Later I decided that I didn't like the textures as much as I liked the crispness of the vector art so I went back:


This is my final result for the project:
