/ About the project

Obsessed With Decks is an interview-style feature spotlighting amateur street skaters and their favourite local spots. Each issue focuses on a different region—in this one, Boston—through the eyes of rising skater Abe Wooten.


The design uses custom illustrations, halftones, and stamp-like graphics to reflect the gritty spirit of skate culture. A limited blue-and-white palette, inspired by cyanotypes, reinforces the idea that these hidden stories emerge only through real exposure to the scene.
