FINGER BOARD LOVE



I am not a finger boarder.

Even though my father used to skateboard when he was young and my boyfriend loves it too, I have no connection whatsoever with wheels and boards (together). Apart from it, I had to post something about the work of one good friend of mine: André Coral. André and another group of guys started the brand LOW PRO and have been developing boards, contests and events all around Europe. I don’t know much about the specs of this practice and I never tried to do any tricks with low pro decks. Nevertheless, one thing I love about it is the fact they have a brilliant design and the family develops really nice videos, where it is possible to see how much fun they are.

Because I am a graphic designer, for this post I wanted to show one image, which I found incredibly special: ‘Finger Board Love’. It is a clean and colourful image at the same time, where we can see the different designs created for the boards. The text is very subtle and organised. The words ‘Finger Board’ appear in a boldish block but in white with a light grey background, which minimises the impact of the thick letters. Next to it we see the word ‘Love’ integrating the logo ‘Low Pro’.

I really like this image and I believe it to be a very good example of great graphic design.
