The outline is obviously a really rough shape! the long vertical line is centre of the board and the shorter one is approx where the front binding will go.

The actual image is enormous... pushing a Gig. I'm going to move the Coiler logo a bit more centre so it doesn't get cut off. V3: <table style="width:auto;"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From September 23, 2011</td></tr></tbody></table> I'm really happy with this... It's going to take Bruce 6 weeks to set up to print, so if there are any haters of Dragons (hopefully this isn't a Confederate Dragon!?) send me a PM. Please keep commenting with any suggestions! Thanks to Jack and Ursle for the size suggestion; totally agreed after trying it. Changes: Moved the Coiler Logo, did an orange to crimson fade on the swirls (flowers? clouds?) and the eyes, tweaked the green to be a bit more vibrant and turned up the contrast a bit, and added my name, email, and DL number along a path under the belly of the dragon (really hard to see on here). A few asides from the design. My wife was not sold on the idea of a new board even after explaining the differences from a 4WD to a VSR-AM. The design has sold her and she even sat with me for an hour making suggestions--weird! I used GIMP on my MacBook and it was surprisingly easy to use. The entire time to create this design in total was maybe 3 hours, and most of that time was waiting for the program to save, resize, rotate etc. The number of layers make it an enormous working file.

Jack M Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Cool idea and nice colors! I'd make the dragon bigger, meaner, and bolder. I'd like to see it take up 1/2 or 2/3 of the board, and don't worry if some of it gets cut off by the outline of the board. Just my 2 cents.

ursle Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Seems to me the only time your board is looked at by others is when you're on the chair lift, I'd, as jack suggested make it larger, but put it on the bottom and wrap it around to the top. BTW, what's being said on the tail of the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utahcarver Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 It says COILER. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Design looks great. Are you keeping your current green beast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti_knee Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Yep, sure am! This will be a bit narrower and longer with a bigger sidecut radius, and VSR... so something to grow into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 The third one looks killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
