Six | Skateboard Design
This is a personal project to celebrate my partner's and my sixth anniversary together.
My partner is a skateboard collector. We have a feature wall at home with forty-six decks, so I decided to design our own pair of skateboards to remember our first six years together.
One deck represents the positive pole (natural wood background) and the other represents the negative (black background). If we rotate the number “6” one-hundred-and-eighty degrees we obtain number “9”, which references the idea of the Yin Yang and, as everyone knows, other connotations.
My partner loves skulls and I love organic forms, so I combined both shapes on the design.
Both decks have the same message: “Our first six years together/Els nostres primers sis anys junts”. The upright version is in English and the upside down version in Catalan creating the pair.
