Semicolon Skateboard Design

This design was made for a project to make a personalized skateboard design. I wanted to make a design that was special and meaningful to me. The background is a testament to the vibrant gradient designs I made in photoshop which played into why I got into design in the first place. The semicolon is something that I've made a personal symbol/inside joke to myself online for years. The semicolon is also a suicide prevention symbol which is a cause I deeply care about. In order to add to this message, I added the numbers 988 which is the phone number for the national suicide prevention hotline. These aspects I added speak to memories and causes important and personal to me in a way that isn't too on the nose yet still speaks personally and deeply to me as the designer
