I picked this because I feel like this skateboard design is a great match for the skateboarding community. Its hand-drawn style and focus on personal expression capture the fun, rebellious spirit of skate culture. The simple "Skate Vibe" text makes it easy to remember and feels authentic, rather than it being forced. This design can be used on various products making it even more appealing. Its genuine vibe connects well with skaters, making it a strong choice from the rest.

The Target audience is any individuals who are into skateboarding. The word "SKATE" is enlarged and in a big font so that we can see the word skate is the main topic other than the words the person is in the middle and is in front of the words making sure that he is the first thing you can see. However, the clumped text makes it more messy so they should spread it out. In the front, the most engaging is the person in front as they put him in front of all the text and nothing on top of him. Overall the magazine itself is visually striking and aesthetically pleasing but it still has areas of improvement. It might try to incorporate the big text to show what magazine is about.

The target audience towards skateboard enthusiasts and anyone who is affiliated with skateboarding. The word Thrasher is the brand making it big and bright with the color yellow making sure that their brand is shown clearly. The people on the skateboard are not as visually striking due to the color scheme being so dark but it is noticeable as they are in the middle of the magazine. I do however think they can improve on the text and the lighting as below the text THRASHER says SKATEBOARD MAGAZINE but it is not as clear due to the lighting. Overall the text "THRASHER" is powerful to the eye but the lighting can be improved making sure that each text is visible. If I could I would try to put the color scheme as same as mine but fix the lighting making sure that each text is visible and powerful to the eye.

Design Goal- For this design project, I will create a magazine about skateboards including a gift of a small yet functional skateboard keychain. This product should be able to solve the problem of people on their screens who need more of a fidget tool to play with to distract them from their devices/electronics. The product should be portable with smooth and functional wheels. The materials should be comfortable to be touched and cleaned easily.

Target Audience- This is targeted towards anyone who is interested or has some experience with skateboarding.

Criteria- For the product, the requirements include:

(Free Gift)

1. Portability: Make the skateboard easy to carry with a compact and lightweight design.

2. Functionality: Guarantee a smooth and stable riding experience with fingers, similar to a standard-sized skateboard.

3. Safety: Prioritize rider safety with reliable grip, and smooth wheels.

4. Aesthetics: Making it visually striking and very aesthetically pleasing.

5. Affordability: Ensure a reasonable price to appeal to beginners, enthusiasts, and casual riders.

6. Durability: Construct the skateboard from durable, hard materials for long-lasting use.

(Magazine)

1. Aesthetically pleasing: Make the magazine visually striking and attractive to our clients.

2. Size: It should be a considerable amount in size as if it is too big it would be l

Success Criteria:

To measure the success of our small skateboard design project, we can look at how well it works, and what people think by creating a form and asking them about our product. We can also make sure if we meet all the requirements or not.

The chosen product design is fun and unique, featuring a moon and stars on a black background. The bright design stands out while skating, and the happy moon adds character, making it visually striking. This skateboard will appeal to younger skaters and anyone who loves cool styles, combining creativity with practicality for an enjoyable ride.

It looks good with pictures and stuff but might be too messy. The cover probably has skateboarder pictures, and the stories inside are about skateboarding events, trends, and cool people. The magazine is great because it shows the real skateboarding culture, but it could be better by making the layout and pictures more interesting. They should avoid using the same things repeatedly and stay true to what skateboarding is all about. In summary, it's a cool magazine about skateboarding, but they should make it easier to read and more fun to look at. I will try to make the text, skateboaord in the middle easy to see and striking.

Changes made to Skateboard:

1. Wheels:

Original Plan: The initial plan was to use wooden wheels so that it could give a uniform wooden aesthetics to it.

Fixes Made: So, I instead made the wheels created from soft plastic. Fixing this gives more creativity in design, as due to its softness it can be molded into various shapes and sizes, as using wood feels very restrictive.

Benefit: The wheels being wood would be hard, and heavy to use. The softness also gives it a smoother and easier to feel riding.

2. Trucks:
Original Plan: Wooden trucks were crafted to be to matched the wooden wheels and deck, ensuring the wanted aesthetics, but this makes the skateboard heavier and harder to use.

Fixes Made: The trucks were modified to be made using long sticks instead. The long sticks made the skateboard lighter, easier, and faster to use. However, the use of sticks does not change the aesthetics of the handmade aesthetics that I was going for.

Benefit: Using long sticks instead of rigid wood makes the skateboard significantly lighter, ensuring a smooth ride.

3. Aesthetics:

Original Plan: The initial aesthetics was to have a design of a moon under the skateboard like in most skateboards:

Fixes Made: For the original plan I was supposed to use dark colors like black, and silver. But instead, I used more of a light and  vibrant color like green in which I used under my skateboard, and changed the design into slime as it can fill up the whole entire skateboard giving it a more visually striking look to it, catching people's attention.

Changes made to magazine:

1. Subheadings Placement:

Original Plan: The subheadings were supposed to be on the side of the magazine, but instead it was on top of the magazine with the caption (Ride the pulse of Skate Culture).

Fixes made: Putting it on the side gives the main drawing and visual loses its power to capture people's attention, and when I put the caption on top the main drawing gives the most attention as it is bigger and nothing to the side or in front of it.

2. Captions:

Original Plan: The initial captions were (Skateboard is not a crime) and (2024 Hottest magazine) these captions were not a story.

Fixes made: So, I fixed the caption into (Upcoming Park opening in Phnom Penh) this is a news story that skateboarders would love to hear as there are a limited amount skate park in Phnom Penh and they would have a new place to skate in.
