DMA234 FINAL SKATEDECK (DRUMROLL)

Story on my skatedeck!!!!

My project last year was about PIRANHA's, did a skate-deck mixing illustration, photoshop, and typography. This year i would have to use the same project and create my own rendition of an ad.
Took me a couple of hours, a few sketches and still nothing popped up. LUCKILY thank god for Google image search i saw some ad's that caught my eye. Decided to make a skater do tricks with a piranha deck.
It had humour and creativity to it.

Played around with simple vectoring, and filters. Changed vibrances and lighting on the actually pictures of the skater and piranha. Found trucks online added it to the piranha. players with shadows and blur effect to blend it in together. Played with different shades of blue.

I also added a pic of the deck i made last semester. created a witty slogan to it. and BOOM my skate-deck ad.

Hour i spent; 2 hours brainstorming in my notebook, 30 mins googling pictures, 1 1/2 hour cutting up pictures, 20 mins playing with picture quality, 2 hours adding it all into the banner.

PAPER ZOO Assignment

Here are my drawings;















This is my final product of the PaperZoo adding the background:






Fooling around with Adobe Photoshop..

Pre-Production on my skate deck pt.1


While I am waiting for the print shop to send me my design, heres a journey through my designs.

The theme was given as Predators. Went straight on google and typed in top 10 predators, thought id do a lions. As i search lions i saw a PiraƱa picture that devoured a lion. Pause. Pirana's were 6th on the top 10 and lions were 2nd. So obviously that made my decision .


Some inspirations i found on the web.






Went to work came up with these sketches;


Outlined it with a thin marker.



uploaded up on my photoshop. Played with lightings, vibrance, triple layer so i can get definition on the picture.



For the background i used the OCEAN background me and my group made in andrews class for paper zoo.

Almost finished and felt something is missing so i vectored my fish drawing. SKELETON MOVEMENT!

OK, enough boring explanations. This is my Final design for my skate deck.

check list;
1. your name - First and Last on board to indicate front and back
2. student number and course code on the back -  haven't received the board yet
3. vector elements - Dead skeleton fish is been vectored and copied across the board
4. raster elements - the actual pirana sketches has been uploaded and rendered on photoshop
5. typography - first name on top to indicate front and last name to indicate back with a ripped affect on the lettering.

drumroll..... Final Design.
