Snowboard Design

Mid Summer snowboard design: ‘Lock and Load’.

The top of the board features a ‘bordello cowboy’ motif with decorative dueling pistols, organic flourishes, and decorative wings.

The bottom of the board has a rifle silhouette in gold, so when a rider has dismounted and is carrying their board it appears upon first glance that they are carrying a gold gun.

I wished to celebrate the gunslinger outlaw feeling which snowboarders sometimes exude.  Although a part of mainstream culture, they are somehow perceived to be on the fringes of morality and order.

As an added bonus to the snowboard design I posted earlier this summer, I created a very short video animation of the content of the design.

This very short practice video features 3D layers imported from the illustrator file, animated and viewed with a moving camera.
