Skate tag background theme

Skate tag sketches

I thought of 3 different layouts for my skate tag, will c which one works better. I like them all anyways.

One is a triangle tag (2 double sided pages) for which i'm gonna use a water colored background then I'm gonna paste the info sheets & images to it as if those are taped to the main background image.

Second one is a tag which looks more like a boot. Its front & back pages will look like a real skate, design wise (except for the wheels), on the inside pages info will be shown on a water color background.

Third represents the concept of the wheels meaning this will be a circular tag which looks exactly like skate wheels. 3 wheels together in a row to be folded on the sides.

I'll use a red & white water color background for the wheels.

hunting ideas for skate tag

My first step was to check out sport stores. It was at sport check where I found a nice & friendly sales guy who didnt mind my camera at all. Although I'm thinking to design a tag for Salomon, they didnt have much of that brand in store (donno why!). So, I had to find s.th on the net.

Well, after all, I really liked Salomon inline skates, designed for agressive skating & specially for women. Hence, the target market of this product are females from 16-30 years old.

Here r some pix I've collected so far:

Slack Week

what iif we dont want a break?
this so called "break" time was crazy. Had a lot to do for the week after. Couldn't really focus on one project being concered for the others as well.
Fighting a terrible cold, trying not to miss my job and working hours, going back & forth from one project to another, gosh, seems like a nightmare. Still have a lot to do, I'm not done. I know it's Sat. but hey, I can only do so much at a time. Plus, I'm looking for that creative mood to come to me!!! oh! :))

first time with photoshop

added several effects & styles to that lovely dolphin. When I was done with this assignment, it was such a relief, uhhhhh!!!

By the way, this image here is not showing the true colors of my image.

First time with Illustrator

Though it was so frustrating at the beginning, appeared to be satisfactory at the end. It took me a few days to figure out the features & functions of this program as an amature but I finally traced Miami logo.

exploration

experimenting some design elements, attempting to present concepts like: movement, stability, caos, negative/positive, playful & rhythm.

Perspective & 3D

drawing perspective & 3D objects, is not as easy as it might seem.Above's a picture of a 3 point perspective street & of course the water colored sketch .
