Update: Skateboard Poster Final

Final

To make the poster more interesting I added a shutter type look to it and smoothed out the edges of the skateboard. The final poster shows that the skateboard deck is tough like soldiers and was the main theme of the poster. There are two final designs. There are two designs that can be used for the final depending on what the client likes most.

1. The mobile poster design for the iphone/ipod 960x640
2. Poster design with the soldier from the skateboard holding the actual skateboard
3. Poster without the soldier

PROBLEMS
So I was encountering some problems which was that:

1. Looked to plain
2. The Skateboard wasnt smooth around the edge
3. Needed an advertising line


SOLUTION
Possible lines:

-Army Strong

-Durable, Reliable and ready.

There are two possible designs of the poster so far and are still in the forming point.

UPDATE 

This is more of the background work that was needed to be done to figure out how to do this poster.

So I just had to get a couple of pictures of grungy War type things for inspiration on this poster.

Digital Painting

This was just a small assignment we had to do that we had to basically turn a pic of a celebrity couple and make it look like a painting.

Skateboard Poster Step:1

STORY
Back in last semester we were given a project where we had to make a skateboard deck design. This semester we have to make a poster advertising it.

The first step to working on this poster is to just give a brief description of how much work was put into the skateboard and its background for its design.
 

The skate deck took me a few hours to complete and was the main concept of war. I had to tie in the idea of a "Predator" to the design and i right away thought of "War Predator" or a soldier. This concept was given by the design web I created that involved words like savage, strong, fierce, ferocious, powerful. This all tied in with the whole soldier design concept. This also ties into the colour scheme which was of a green camo color.

For the project we were presented with now I wanted to incorporate how tough a soldier is. This can work well with the skate deck because riders want that durability and toughness.

Original AD - DC Shoes

Final Min Skoa71 Remakes

Min Skoa71 [4.5 hours]

There are two finished products here for the client. Both have the same feeling but look different. I used the colours green, blue and purple because they are the clients favourite colours as well as the splash effect.

Min Skoa71 concepts [2.5 hours]

These are the backgrounds I had to create for the shoe ad. The second one is more oriented towards a sleeker look. The first one however has a more splatter effect to it and is messy but is supposed to look like that.

This one wasnt really working for me but it was my original concept but was a little too plain and didnt have the splatters.

Min Skoa71 Hero shoe and story

 

Took off the logo for the Blue Shoe.

Story

Min Skoa71 was once a small company not known by many but is now one of the most known shoe companies around. Min Skoa71 brings out the personality of a person with their groundbreaking style and uniqueness. There were never any shoes tough enough to with stand long hard days on a skateboard. These new shoes not only have the technology built in but also the style that makes it the best in its category.  From riding skateboards there is always room to ruin shoes while doing kick flips or etc., and any skater would know that. These new  “Tough 71” shoes will never have that problem because of the material and build of the shoe. As said by the great skateboarder who found Min Skoa71 Boomer Bangs, “I aint never duck taping my shoes again, damn kick flips making holes in my shoes.” These shoes are Boomer approved.

Ps. Boomer loves green, blue and purple because they are the “COOL” colours in design.
