From The Vault (2005-2006) Vanilla Gorilla Skateboards

I recently found some pictures from my end of year show at Oxford and Cherwell Valley College (Banbury) back in June 2006 when i studied for my ND in Graphic Design,

My Final Major Project (Which I personally wrote) was to create the identity and products for a fictional skateboard company, I created the Logo, Stationairy, Catalogue/Magazine, Advertisements/Posters, Skateboards, and an accompanying Clothing range (the companys theme was “BREAK TREND NOW” and i carried that over in terms of design style as the style back then was Vector graphics so i opted for handmade design, which subsequently has become fashionable again now).

Anyway here are a couple of shots i took:

Above is a shot of the Company logo and a Skate Deck design.
