i
have
this
project
i'm
supposed
to
be
doing
with
a
few
other
people
for
school
.
we
have
to
make
this
business
,
and
my
group
is
creating
a
skateboard
company
.
the
problem
is
that
my
friend
and
i
are
supposed
to
come
up
with
the
designs
,
because
we
are
the
"
artists
,"
but
we
can't
come
up
with
anything
.
this
is
harder
than
you
would
think
.
any
advice
/ideas
would
be
appreciated.

great
design
is
often
marked
by
what
you
leave
off
or
the
assumptions
you
discard
from
the
history
of
traditional
thought
on
the
subject
.
i
have
crudely
designed
skateboards
in
the
past
for
my
own
use
.
they
were
purpose
built
for
downhill
racing
(juicing
as
we
used
to
call
it
)
and
the
best
of
them
were
the
most
minimal
.
remember
the
old
bauhaus
conciet:
form
follows
function
.
think
of
materials
first
.
think
of
utility.
think
of
what
is
no
longer
needed
for
skateboards;
the
vestigial
elements
that
no
one
has
challenged.
look
at
case
studies
of
great
design
evolutions
of
the
recent
past
.
check
out
the
history
of
the
steinberger L2
bass
.
it
won
industrial
design
awards
and
changed
instrument
design
forever
.
most
of
the
innovation
was
in
materials
then
the
removal
of
unnecessary
elements
that
new
materials
allowed
and
finally
a
radical
redesign
of
the
tuning
mechanism
which
resulted
in
a
patent
.
on
top
of
this
ned (steinberger)
added
active
pickups
which
were
just
becoming
available
.
all
of
this
combined
resulted
in
an
unbelievably
different
looking
,
sounding
and
playing
instrument
.
remove
until
there
is
almost
nothing
left
and
then
add
back
only
what
you
need
.
good
luck
.

what
object
can
be
reborn
as
a
skateboard
?
what
do
you
want
it
to
do
that
no
other
has
done
quite
so
well
?
where
will
it
be
used
.
by
whom
?
what
will
it
be
used
for
?
when
will
it
be
used
?
why
are
current
models
not
good
enough
?
what
will
it
sound
like
?
why
?
how
will
it
be
stored
.
carried
?
can
it
be
disassembled. modified
for
different
behavior
or
conditions
?
is
it
needed
or
will
it
create
new
needs
?
who
will
want
it
?
why
?
who
will
understand
it
?
how
?
why
is
it
necessary
to
evolve
the
species
?
how
long
will
it
last
given
normal
use
?
where
will
it
be
available
?
if
you
answer
these
questions
you
may
find
that
it
will
take
shape
in
the
answers
.

we
ended
up
doing
something
kind
of
similar
to
the
way
they
are
now
,
but
with
a
different
material
,
and
i
think
it
was
designed
to
be
more
solid
and
give
better
balance
.
sorry
this
is
really
vague
,
my
brain
is
falling
apart
today
and
the
project
was
like
2
months
ago
.
it
turned
out
pretty
well
though
.
