Hi this is my first semester at OSF. My brand is Demewnic which a play on the word Demonic with a feline twist. My brand exists to take all things cute and turn them into you worst nightmares. My graphic on my first board is an image of a human wearing a severed cathead mask leaning against a tree in a moody environment.
I used lots
of red and black to communicate the dark elements of my brand. I made the
graphic with spraypaint and paint marker. I made the actual board out of
Canadian maple. This was the first thing I made out of wood and I’m really
stoked to ride it!
I learned
to make sure every surface you do not want to spray is covered with paper so
that you don’t get overspray, which is difficult to fix. On my next board I
will be more careful spraypainting and manage my time better so I’m not rushed.
Overall, I have learned more in a month at OSF than my whole previous high
school experience, from designing and creating my own brand and the related
teamwork and communication skills. I can’t wait to freak people out with my
next branded creation!
