Inspiration: Skate Deck

The main subject for my skate deck is a bird. I have not decided which one yet. I like the cooky kiwi bird and the vibrant flamingo.


 

I Like the background of this photo. For my background I want to try and incorporate either pastel/water colour art. Possibly of a tree or just the branches/leaves.







This is my idea for the colour scheme.

Research: Skate Deck

For my sketching and communications class we have to design our own skate deck using different meduims

Research:
Looking at several different skate deck designs its clear that the design really depends on one's personal style.

 I like the backgrounds of these skate decks. It looks kind of like water colours.Something I may consider for my own background/ 
With these skate decks I like the use of typography and the monochromatic colour schemes.
I really like the boards below. The graphics are nice and bold and there is good contrast. If I don't use these as inspiration for this project I will definitely keep them in mind for future projects.
I like the construction of this board. However, for this assignment I don't think I will be able to carve out my own board. Wood working/ construction is not my specialty. Though I think it would be an interesting project to try out and could work out well with some of the design ideas I have floating around in my head.

Inspiration- Stina Persson

For my DMA179- Sketching and communication class we have to create our own work that is inspired by an assigned artist. The artist I was assigned is Stina Persson. I selected some of her work that I liked and will keep in mind when creating my own work. For more of her work, go to: http://www.stinapersson.com/
