Longboarding Graphic needed!

**4rch_4ngel** · 22 July 2009, 12:21 AM

Okay so i'm buying a new longboard and the company i'm buying from will do free custom graphics. I'm decent at photoshop but i'm really at a loss for what i should put on this board.

I'm thinking very VECTOR-ish such as..

or Flattened images such as...

HERE IS THE LINK FOR A PDF FORMAT OF THE BOARD!

All attempts will be greatly appreciated and considered!=]

haha my apologies, wasn't looking at it as a Freebie. I've designed a couple board graphics myself, but i wanted other input/ideas.
Figured the community was about..graphics and thought you guys might like a go at it ;]
soo.. lock the topic if you wish haha

Can we see your designs? That would give us some clues about what you'd like suggested as new ideas.

Your three referenced links really don't seem to focus on a theme or style. What is it that you want your longboard graphic to say?

A warm welcome to TalkGraphics, 4rch_4ngel.

As sledger noted, we're not here to create the graphic for you but we're more than willing to offer design, color, and other suggestions for any designs you've created (or are considering) to customize your board. And, since it is YOUR board, having a design you create will make it even more special. Let's see some of your prototype designs. It doesn't matter if they're done in Adobe PhotoShop, Xara Xtreme, Microsoft Paint, on a piece of notebook paper or on the back of a napkin. A doodle or two will at least get the creative process started. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing what you come up with. It looks like a nice little project.

Don't be shy,
HayTay

Sorry For the double post, but i came here because normally i work with lots of blending etc.

But for the board, blending and fractals wont look good, and i really havent had that much experience with vectors, so i came here! haha

I do lots of forum signatures

And i'm deciding between the quotes

Loose Trucks Save Lives.
or
Gravity...Dont Waste It

which do you..enjoy more?

Thanks for posting some of your work.

Just a note, we prefer you attach images to your posts rather than hotlink to Photobucket. This is mentioned in the Forum rules which you would have received when registering.

If you are unsure how to do this, please review the short tutorial here.

Yea i actually tried your uploader but it wasnt working, so i hosted it off my photobucket and put it as an image so no-one would have to click the link..therefore going to a 3rd party site!
