Skateboard Decks 8.0 Blank
Friday, August 5th, 2011Create Your Own Skateboard Graphic
Many skateboarders are artistic, and like to put their creations on their skateboards. A lot of skaters use spray paint and put stencils on their boards. Others will use markers, sharpies, and stickers to decorate their boards. Some skaters will buy blank decks solely for the purpose of putting their designs on it. Just like riding skateboards, designing skateboards can be a hobby of its own too.
Stencils are a great way to create cool skateboard graphics. Stencils can be used in many different ways. You can use just one color to make one solid image, or you can use multiple colors and layer different stencils over each other to make one image. This gives a really cool effect. Just draw an image and cut it out to make a template. The best thing to use is cardboard because it is sturdy. The left over border of cardboard will be your template.
You can then use spray paint of any color to paint on your image. Make sure to not move the cardboard template while painting. Use tape to hold it down. If you want a more complex image with more colors, you can create different templates to go over the first one. This can be a little tricky, but if you are creative, it can be done. Allow each layer of paint to dry before applying another layer. If you can’t draw very well, use tracing paper to trace any image.
When I first began designing my own skateboards I used stencils but recently I found a new method. It’s actually the BEST way to design your own board. Zazzle.com allows you to upload any image you have created and place it on a blank skateboard deck. The decks offered from the website are very high quality 100% maple. I have ordered many and they are very durable boards. The company will then laser print your designed image on the deck. This looks just like Pro model decks offered from skateboard companies. It is a very high quality laser printed design. They will then ship you the deck. It cost just as much as a deck you would buy at a skateshop about 60 dollars.
