Design Success and Failure in Relation to Syntactical Guidelines

This deck is a modern design aimed at maintaining its functionality while creating a new style of art at the same time. The deck is unique because of the elaborate swirls all across the board as well as wheels that change colors as they spin. The only true failure of this deck is to the traditional skateboarder who intends on performing tricks. Not to say you can't jump this deck but it would be more difficult because of all the open spaces in the deck.

This green Element deck is a traditional deck with a earthy graphic laid on the bottom. This is traditionally what I have always seen as my nice because I have always been involved in the skating community as well as have a love for the same type of graphics which I have always seen being sold at local deck retailers. This Element board is successful in its design for the traditionalist because it holds the typical size and a beautiful, clean graphic. This type of board is what is needed to perform tricks and be able to ride the board without fear of falling because of some open spaces in the deck. This is another successful design by the people @ Element.
