Hi fellow jibbers!

I'm thinking of a career in ski design and I need your help to make me better at designing. What you think of this design? Any tips on what to improve?

Haven't looked at the Bioshock game at all, but I can see the similarities. I gues Bioshock is a game based on the Steampunk genre, am I right?

Yea It is a sick graphic but I would get rid of the dots and make the tip solid yellow like the tail.

ye the graphics are pretty sick, although I like to avoid skis with graphics that are specific to the left and right skis.

really easy to look at, and simple, without being overly plain or boring.

I really like them.

I use Adobe Illustrator for my designs. I didn't sketch it out on paper first, but I drew it in Illustrator yes.

the circles around the perimeter of the tips should go. And I'm hoping the untitled part is a temporary thing? The font doesn't fit the rest of the ski. Sick design though.

I agree with this. Kind of like this season's design of the Volkl Wall but I bet you could do some pretty sweet things to make it looks even better.

seriously, who picks a ski based on graphic?  thats ignorant.  you should pick a ski based on its performance, quality, and profile.  seriously, graphic is the very last thing you should be worrying about

It is always a plus when the ski is sick in both the performance and graphic department though.

I know choosing a ski by it's graphic is a stupid thing to do, but does the design appeal to you?
