Nuclear Family Design Decks

Future Past Skateboards Take a Trip Back to the 50s

— July 25, 2011 — Pop Culture
I've seen a lot of graffiti, skulls, demons and dragons on skate decks, but seeing a happy family from the 50s such as the ones on these Future Past Skateboards is definitely something new.

Melbourne-based designer and artist Nick Thompson is the one coming out with these hilarious Future Past Skateboards. Each of the decks features the face of a single member of a stereotypical 50s nuclear family. Dad's smoking a cigarette, mom looks happy, the sister eats spaghetti with joy while the son eats a good old-fashioned PB&J. As if that's not awesome enough, Thompson adds an epic backdrop with a sci-fi feel to each of the skateboards as well.

The Future Past Skateboards will be available for purchase and can be pre-ordered at Thompson's website.
Trend Themes
1. Nuclear Family Skateboards - Creating skateboard designs centered around nostalgic nuclear family imagery presents an opportunity to tap into consumers' appreciation for retro aesthetics.
2. Retro-inspired Skateboard Art - The use of 50s-inspired designs on skateboards allows for a unique and eye-catching product that appeals to both skateboard enthusiasts and vintage collectors.
3. Sci-fi Skateboard Backdrops - Incorporating sci-fi backdrops into skateboard designs provides a playful and unexpected twist that attracts a diverse audience of skateboarding and science fiction fans.
Industry Implications

2. Graphic Design - Graphic designers specializing in skateboard art have an opportunity to create unique, visually striking designs that appeal to customers looking for something out of the ordinary.
3. Pop Culture Merchandise - Pop culture merchandise retailers can add Future Past Skateboards to their product lineup, offering customers a fun and novel way to express their interests and nostalgia.
