Skalpel Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hello all! It's sort of a dream of mine, to one day buy a Donek board and when I do, I want to have costume graphics on it... To personelize it, i guess :). I'll probably buy me one in the next two years (I'm not really loaded with money and I have a good bord at the moment (goltes ProRace 180)). Impatient as I am, I'm already playing in photoshop, trying out some ideas. The people at Donek were kind enough to send me a tamplate of a 175 freecarve model (i think), so that's what I'm working on. I just wanted to show my first two ideas... Not really finished, but (in mine opinion) nice. I like my board to be relatively simple (some small additional detalis would not hurt , though)... Here they are... Sun Green snake (yeah I know... but I like the shiny green and black combination... :)) I hope there isnt a problem with me using a Donek logo. If there is, please tell me and I'll remove the picture immediately. If any of you have costume graphics I'd really like to see them. Pics welcome. (I will not steal ideas, I promise :)) Cheers!

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Cool. Maybe both? Snake on the tip , Donek on the tail? I like both, well done. It would be cool if you could make the snakes head a bit more pronounced maybe? Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpel Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I tried that, with the logo on the tail... It isnt bad, it's just that the shades of green are not the same and I dont think it works out... :) Here's the combo : Snake and logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTA2R Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 i have 3 custom graphics from Donek- Sean did an excellent job. as far as i know, you should be using Illustrator, which is a vector program, vs. photoshop, which is bitmap. also, i was told that i could not have graphics too close to the edge, and you cannot have them overly complicated. I imported 2 actual pictures and tweaked them, and they came out great. they are all black, the board is metallic silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipuppy Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I think they both totally look awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveBomber Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Um... why dont you make the whole topsheet look like the top of a snake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GQuentin Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Both are sweet. I think I like the sun a little more though. Maybe you can keep the sun on the top sheet, and put an eclipse on the base. I just received my Donek Axxess last week and love it. Sean and the guys at Donek are incredible. Both the quality of the board and customer service are impeccable. I went with the olympic core and can't wait to ride it. If your not sure what board to go with, call Sean and he will steer you in the right direction. I went with the blue metallic top sheet and the 20th anniversary base. She's a beaut. Bottom line; you won't go wrong with a Donek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Gruumer Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Ja, dat isnot much of green sun... Thats an AMF PB1001 Earl Anthony Pro Model. Last seen on the PBA tour in the Toledo Classic.. :lol: Right Said Shred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I think if you could blend the donek logo in the snake skin (probably upper right for the most area) that would be kickass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpel Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Thanks for all the suggestion. :) I know I know that the graphics are supposed to be made in a vector program. It's just that I dont know how to use those programs... And anyway, I'm still just playing with the ideas... And growing impatient as I wait for my first carwing day this season... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
