Mike Mo Graphic
Last week Savita, posted about spec work and what is now known as “crowdsourcing”. While i totally agree with her stance, and feel that there is is something fundamentally wrong with the whole process. I have to admit that i had to learn the harsh realities all on my own.
Last year when i first read about crowdSpring, i quickly went to the website and created an account and i started working on various logos right away. For some reason I was really excited at the idea of making some extra money and be able to get some “practice”.
Luckily I think i realized pretty quickly that people were biting my submissions. Which was the most painful thing about the whole experience. Other “creatives” stealing your designs and resubmitting with the changes that the client asked for. wackness.
I haven’t worked on a project in a long time.
With all that, here is my submission to one design contest i can get behind. The Girl Skateboard Co. had a contest to design a skateboard graphic for one of their Pro riders, Mike Mo Capaldi. I totally support and back this company 100% as they have one of the best teams around in addition to being a skateboarder owned company.
Skateboard graphics is something i’m really into and love. I can only hope that one day something i create gets put on a board.
While i’m talking about skate graphics make sure you check out this book, i already ordered my copy from amazon- I can’t wait till it arrives.
Here is the process of the graphics;
Here is a crest that i was working on for another idea, that never really panned out.
i think this came out pretty good also.
