Snowboard Designs


Here are some snowboard designs I have made. To make them I traced a plain snowboard with the beizer tool. For the first design I took one of my Vector Graphics and clipped it and positioned it how I wanted it on the snowboard. The second and third took more time because I needed to make the design and then put it on the board. I made a small design and turned it in to a pattern and selected the board. With the board I selected the tab that changes the pattern and choose the pattern number that I had saved it as. The boards weren't were too hard to make.   

Smashed Text


I gave this text a smashed effect. It looks smashed because it has wedges pulled out further than the rest of the text. I did this by making a shape (usually a long, thin triangular shape) and putting it on top of the text and using the intersection tool. After that I selected them both and went path difference. At first I found it hard to do this but it started to get easier and faster. I took a few wedges out and then pulled them out to make gaps in it. To make it look more smashed I got a picture of smashed glass and put it behind the text and clipped it to fit the text.

Using Clone Stamp


I did this using the clone stamp on Photoshop. The original picture was a guy on a snowboard but using the clone stamp I got rid of the snowboard. Selecting the clone stamp means you take pixels from another area and stamp them somewhere else to cover up a place. At first I found it hard to use this tool but then it got easier. The hard thing was that you have to take the stamps but not make it so obvious and make it blend in.


I moved the football on this one and then put the brick there to make it look strange and funny that the kid is kicking a brick.

Snowboarder without board

Here I erased the snowboard and put my own design on the floor.
