Skateboard design












I design concept is based on my target market. The customers group of this target market are teenagers who are 16- 25 years old. At this age group, people like show their personality and like cool things and unique life style. Also in my opinion, for this age group, skateboards are toys for them, this means customer would not buy skateboards with very complex image and colour, they buy skateboard for playing purpose rather than colleting famous artworks. So I want to make something closer to customers with simply cubism.

I designed this skateboard based on lines. My first step was drawing lines in a skateboard. Then base on lines, I added more lines and put in different position and shape to create different style. After I did lots of online research about cubism, I have many ideas on developing my artwork.


I kept developing my artworks with different shape and colour contents, the day before submission date; I had two more new ideas, then I continued work on my design.

At the final stage, I made last decision of my design. My final concept - I create five different skateboards, which skateboards have different personalty, facial expression, hairstyle and life style. Laughs, smelts, angry, cool etc, I can use many words to descript my artworks. By achieving my goal, I only use very simple shade, line and colours. By showing different personalty, facial expression, hairstyle and lifestyle, customers can find their life style from skateboards; this makes skateboards much closer to their real style.
