Nice selection of insitus especially having a vertical and horizontal wall display. ๐Ÿ‘

Love it! I have updated mine using new views.

I also do Postcrossing!

I like the Outdoor 1 the best ... focus is on the skateboard with the model in the background.

Also, I don't remember the non-printing guidelines being present in the design tool before, but it's nice to see them now so non-patterned/non-repeating designs won't get obscured by the wheels.

New in-situs are always a good thing. I updated my skateboards with these new options.

It would be great to have a female model, as well.

OOPS! Thanks, @Malissa! I just used James' link & didn't really go to my product page, where it would have been larger. If only we could delete our posts...lol

If only those skatergirls would wear skirts, high heels and make up! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I also do Postcrossing!

I love this view and the look of the model with the skateboard! It would be nice to have a close-up female model too with more focus on the skateboard and less on the background, but there are a lot of great new views, so I'm happy ๐Ÿ™‚

I think they look great!  Thanks so much for the update! I actually sold one with the wheels and trucks this week so pretty happy about that-it's been a while for a sale!

I too like the new views, however, I went to view my skateboard designs and found that the image I placed on the board does not show the same on every size option.

I am using a "SYMBOL FONT" for the pattern.

The 7 7/8" and 8" images are fine, the remainder are compressed.

Tested, and you're right, there is a problem. I tried to edit (with and without editing the text/letter) and checked the previews, I got random results with working and not working sizes. I tried then to change the font to a normal one, and in this case, all previews were correct but the preview thumbnails in the size details partially wrong. No problems so far with the tests of my own designs (images).

That being said, you had a pretty uncommon approach with the symbol font. A "risky" one, to be honest. Be aware that the font sizes change when you change the product size, and this may cause trouble. If you look at your design, there are white (unprinted) horizontal stripes between every text line, both in the previews AND within the designer, where it matters. You could adjust the line height, but this is not precise enough to get a clean result. I'm 100% certain this will print that way and you could risk a return. I personally would redesign it using either tiled seamless vectors/images or a full-size background.

Crispy and well-contrasted product views and truly beautiful in-situs, especially the outdoor ones (perspectives and arrangement). The wall-hangers are nice, too. In this case, I would add a variant with the wheels on, but it's not a must cuz there are the outdoor views. All in all beautifully done, continue on this path, you're on the right one ๐Ÿ™‚

I love it. Funny that when I updated all the skateboards in my collection, that I did not notice that one is a female. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Hi James reviving your post on skateboards from last year ! I am disappointed that some of my skateboards have been classed as discontinued re to the size only. Surely the team could leave the product as is to allow customers another size choice. Too late for creators to change to another size if product is discontinued .  Jillian
