Snowboard design evaluation



Snowboard design evaluation
What inspired you initially?
I was first inspired to do a cityscape with different patterns showing the lights of the building  when I was doing the city scape project.  I looked at my composition for that I thought it would look quite nice to find a cityscape which looks really nice being aware of the different shapes and forms. So I started researching buildings on the internet and found this really nice cityscape to do which had patterns on it.  The butterflies at the back which was inspired by Si scott
 
Describe your use of colour?
I decide to paint my snowboard a light pink because i thought the cityscape and butterflies would really stand out. However in my book it shows the snowboard being a dark pink with blended white. i decided to change it because i ran out of dark pink paint and just decided to leave it as dark pink. Blended blue and white was going to be my first colour but then i experimented and thought parts of the building wouldnt be seen on the dark blue.
 
How is your work drawn, sculpted, constructed or painted?
i painted my snowboard white first to get a base colour this is so the main colour doesnt sink in and so that there isnt any gaps. i had to paint over the main blue colour i had because i changed my mind about what colour i wanted the snowboard to be. Too draw the butterflies were quite hard because my snowboard had 3 layers of paint so knowing if i made a mistake i wouldnt be able to paint on top because i ran out of paint. So i had to draw on the butterflies with a black pen  making sure i knew what i was doing and didnt make a mistake.
 
If you were to start the project again what would you do differently and why?
i would stick to having one colour from the start so i dont end up changing my mind and painting on top making it harder to draw onto because then it wouldnt have taken me time to draw on to my board.
what ideas/techniques did you enjoy experimenting with and what ones did you not enjoy?
i enjoyed experimenting with different colours and the thickness of the paint. Also the butterfly design and the cityscape worked well drawing/painting it. Shaping my snowboard i would have shaped it more to make it look like a skateboard.
