How to design your own custom snowboard graphics
Designing your own custom snowboard graphics can be an exciting and creative process. At Wired Snowboards, we believe that your snowboard should not only perform exceptionally well on the mountain, but also be an extension of your personal style and preferences. Here are some tips to help you design your own custom snowboard graphics.
Example of custom snowboards designed by our amazing customers.
1. Start with a concept
Before you start designing, it's important to have a concept or theme in mind. This can be anything from a favorite color scheme or pattern to a specific image or design. Take some time to brainstorm and gather inspiration from sources such as magazines, websites, or your favorite artists.
2. Consider the board shape and size
The shape and size of your snowboard can also influence your graphic design. A larger board may offer more space for intricate designs, while a narrower board may require a more streamlined approach. Think about the overall shape and dimensions of your board when planning your design.
3. Choose your color palette
Your color palette can set the tone for your entire design. Choose colors that complement each other and reflect your personal style. Consider using bold and vibrant colors for a high-impact design, or muted tones for a more subtle look.
4. Sketch it out
Once you have your concept, board shape, and color palette in mind, it's time to start sketching. You can use traditional pencil and paper or digital tools such as Photoshop or Illustrator to create your design. Start with rough sketches and refine your design as you go.
