Skateboard Design

I chose this design for the skateboard because I believe it reflects Lakeshore well, and it will attract teens. I chose the eye to show the lake by Lakeshore, the tree to represent our cleanliness, the stop light to represent the street, the wall to represent the buildings down Lakeshore, and the music because we have a variety of music, and musical people. I chose the colour purple as the background because it represents a mix of colours because Lakeshore is mixed, and it contrasted well. I believe it will catch the eyes of the ages 12-25 because its fun, colourful, and its mature for that age group (not childish). This is why I chose the aspects for this design and I am proud of it. Thank you :)

The site to, in my oppinion was well layed out and was pretty interesting. Although this doesn't quite consist in my interests it was fairly interesting. I liked how you could choose the toy that you wanted to look at rather than just hit many links that are confusing. My favourite toy was the Phenakistoscope. It caught my eye and I thought it was cool. Although modern toys are more technical this still seems like something people of all ages would like.
