Development of Ideas

The first development were from hand drawn sketches. Figuring out the ways in which the shape of the skateboard could be made with, and also trying to draw different ideas for function and aesthetic of a skateboard.

 Then to easier develop some possible skateboard design, the next few development of ideas came from playing around with shapes and tools in Google Sketchup.

In Sketchup, some of the designs that were considered and created in it included:

- skateboard trunks
- wheels
- the boards

Research - Skateboards
