Burton Parkitect: Board Art & Graphics

The Parkitect was a staple of the freestyle lineup for Burton Snowboards, and BMD Design contributed to its visual identity over two consecutive seasons. Working alongside JDK Design, the studio developed the artwork for these specific graphic deck snowboard models — a limited edition series defined by screen-printing aesthetics and a raw, illustrated approach. This project was about delivering a distinct look for each edition, ensuring the boards stood out in the park while remaining consistent with the brand's technical heritage. These collaborations showcase how specific graphic treatments are integrated into the production of high-performance Burton snowboards.

The creative approach for these snowboard decks centered on custom typography and hand-drawn iconography. The first model features a textured olive green base with skull illustrations and traditional lettering, while the second season explores a deeper blue palette with esoteric symbols and high-contrast motifs. For every graphic deck snowboard produced in this series, the focus remained on composition and visual balance, ensuring a bold impact on the snow. This work for Burton Snowboards represents a professional contribution to the visual history of one of the industry's most iconic freestyle models.
