graphic ideas

Post by heelside76 »

Does anyone out there have any cool graphic ideas that i could use? U can also post your own ski/board grahic ideas. I saw on hear somewhere something that would make a great graphic, it said *NOT MADE IN CHINA*. In my own personal opinion, these are the greatest graphics. Again feel free to post your own.

Well i very much apreciacte all the other styles but for skis i much like factory styles.

For my Gamma SL project which is very much nearing completion, we are having a natural topsheet with just the natural carbon fibre showing through which should look great.

Depending on the sucess of this project i will order a sublimated topsheet with my own graphics for next time.

If i was to do it for this current project, i think it would look something like this:

What do you think?

very professional looking graphics shuss!

For my graphics and skis I usually like to have some sort of background story to them. The idea behind a graphic usually dictates as to whether I want them to be crazy, mellow, or funny. But in the end I usually prefer simplicity over crazy, seizure inducing images. Right now I'm kind on the whole natural wood thing.

Ski designs

Post by Svimen »

I´ve posted a few designs I did over at TGR, waiting for Praxis skis to get their designs ready after ordering a pair for next season. Think some of them came out pretty good.

Yup. The skis are reverse-reverse. See www.praxisskis.com for more info. Looking forward to testing them next season...

There are several more designs posted on the following pages of the thread btw.

I prefer the "home-made", ghetto look. Lately, I have been experimenting with different colors of spray paint, and it works pretty well. Plus, when you get bored with the skis, you can just re-paint them and you have a "brand new" pair of boards.

But ussually, I am too excited about skiing a pair of boards to even have time to think about making some sort of fancy graphics. And, I would rather spend time making the ski good-riding and durable, than flashy.

Plus, when they look like garbage, it makes people on mass produced skis that much more angry when they can't keep up with you.
