I spent a good amount of time shooting the shit and going back and forth with my friend about what times of ideas would be cool to incorporate. What I had so far was color and information to include in the tag.

Teenagers + Rollerblades + Color = ?

We discussed a lot and broke it down into something more simple. Where do people blade?

We came up with 2 main sources
(1) Around the parks, city, roads
(2) Skatepark

Having a tag based around things you would find if you were skating through a park seems pretty boring, doesnt it?

I thought that going with the street side of things would be cool. Taking a look at a couple different skate locations, GRAFFETTI is the dominant feature hitting up each one. My idea shifting from that to a "City Blade" theme.

I want to incorporate a graffetti style, city blade scene. Using different things to skate from, graffetti styles and colors to highlight some of the more important features. The picture at the top is somethng I want to use (along those lines) so Im going to grab my camera and snap some photos tomorrow of some cool spots to blade. I have a theme + the colors + the information. Now all I gotta do is design some shit and snap it together.

Imgoing to head downtown tomorrow and to some skateparks and see what I can get flowing from all of these ideas. Now to the sketchbook.
