Information
An entry from the Grafika66 collection entitled ‘Grenade Brigade’, showcased as a dual-medium design concept featuring a skate deck layout and a coordinating art print. This project explores the intersection of gritty streetwear culture and clean vector design, utilizing advanced 3D production pipelines to map intricate graphic layouts onto tactile physical merchandise models.
By balancing high-contrast pop iconography with designed texture placement, the work demonstrates a versatile approach to branding that translates across physical skate hardware and premium fine art formats.

Skate Deck Design & 3D Product Layout
The core of the project lies in translating flat graphic elements onto a physical medium. Using a 3D production pipeline, the bold skull and heart iconography is mapped directly onto a white skate deck canvas. The composition balances high-contrast red artwork with technical typography blocks and colour-swatch data near the nose and tail, drawing inspiration from industrial packaging aesthetics.
To build out a realistic product presentation, the physical hardware components were rendered with high fidelity production techniques. Close attention was paid to the metallic sheen of the trucks, the matte texture on the white wheels, and the reflective finish on the nuts and bolts to give the final assembly a tangible quality.
