SKATE DECK GRAPHIC

This conceptual project involved designing a cohesive series of twenty four images, unified by visual elements such as composition, color, shape, and texture, to enhance visual continuity and design intentionality. The resulting illustrations were applied to a skateboard deck graphic, demonstrating how effectively the imagery functions across various applications.

The process began by linking a series of reference photographs to establish visual connections across the set. Each illustration was first sketched by hand using pen and paper, then scanned and digitally refined with added color to create a polished, cohesive collection of images.

The results included a poster showcasing the full series of twenty four illustrations, a digital skateboard deck mockup, and a professionally printed, functional skate deck. The consistent visual language translated seamlessly from flat composition to three-dimensional form, highlighting the adaptability of the design. The finished product demonstrates both aesthetic cohesion and potential for real-world application as custom merchandise or art-driven product design.
