Just make it look rad.

Occasionally you receive little direction before you set off to work your magic as a freelance designer. DC commissioned me to design graphics for their snowboards as they were making their first venture into the winter apparel and accessories market.

DC Shoes had long been a trendsetting and innovative footwear brand. Looking to build on their triumphs, they wanted to branch out into snow sports. All I had was the name of the board and a few ideas about what I could do to make dc a success in the snow-sports business. I worked a few different comps around the "tone" name and focused on making the board visually loud. Eventually, we landed on a concept designed around classic EQ visualizers and then turned up the volume.
