The 1 of a kind CUSTOM Skate Deck!!!

So for this assignment we had to design and create our very own Skate Deck using PhotoShop and Illustrator.
We had to create our own textures and incorporate them into our final product. Then we had to go and get them printed on a sticker and put them on to a real Deck!!!

Here is the process in order of how I cam e to create the master piece!!!

1- Here I painted a blue cloud so I could create a texture brush out of it on PhotoShop to use it in the back Ground!

2- I water painted a blue sky so I could use it as the background and use the brush I created in PhotoShop to create the clouds!

3- I cut out one of the Mushrooms from the game Super Mario Brothers so I could use it in the final product!

4- Then I took a picture of my head so I could insert it on to the deck!

5- Then last second I thought of this as an idea!!!

6- Now it was just about finding good placement for the images I created!

7- Then I inserted an image from the 1980's Super Mario game. and used it as the background.

8- Then I cut out the the background from the orignal Super Mario Bros image!

9- Then I traced over my signature in Illustrator so I could put it on to the Skate Deck in PhotoShop!

10-  I also traced a word bubble in Illustrator to incorporate it into the final design!

11- Then I inserted my water colour painting as the background of the Super Mario Bros image as well as the word bubble and my signature!

12- I then added the text into the word bubble!

13- And this is the texture I created in PhotoShop!

14- Then I used the texture I made and created the clouds onto the background I water painted!

15- Then I saved the final piece and was ready for printing and this is what the MASTER PIECE turned out like!

Okay, Here we go the final part of the Megalodon Assignment Finsihedddddd!!!


So here is how I made my poster.

1- I drew up a sketch of what I wanted the poster to look like.

2-  The I Water Painted the ocean background Like so.

3- Then I scanned in the original shark drawing I did and Traced over it in Illustrator.

4- Which Left me with a better outline to work with.

5- Then I printed off the Vector image of the shark and Colour Painted it.

6- Then I scanned this image in, and opened it in PhotoShop to put everything together and make the images look cleaner.

7- Then I fixed up a little few mistakes and ugliness with some tools in PhotoShop. I also cut out the teeth so I could Insert text into them.

8- Now I have my finished product and is ready to be saved.

9- Here is the finished product.

Now for this assignment, I wanted to make a totally un-realistic looking shark (cartoon style) just to change it up and see if it would look good. It actually turned out pretty close to what I was going for. So overall I am happy with the final piece.
