Skate Deck

This is what I have been working on as far as my skate deck goes. It's still missing a few required elements.

Time Budget

Sketching - 1 hour

Illustrator - 5 hours

Total (so far) - 6 hours 

UPDATE!

Here, I added my name, which is one of the requirements I was missing in my first version. I also used that as an opportunity to incorporate another requirement: a raster element. I bought $1.47 worth of gumballs and took a picture of them in a bowl. I don't really like the fact that we have to mix in a raster image with a 95% vector based piece, but the client wants what the client wants. It could be three requirements in one if my name in fact counts as typography. I also thought it might be good enough as the texture element but I think I realize now that what is actually required is something I created by hand rather than a photograph. I'm going to see what I can do with watercolours that I can work into this piece.

My name in the cotton candy tree really bugged me, so to minimize its presence a little, I created a stronger white overlay on top of the gumball parts of the letters and scaled them down a bit. For my texture, I decided to use some watercolour splatter on the sleepy ice cream cone and I actually think it looks pretty good considering it's a raster element. I'll be sending this to the printers today,
