13 Fun Spooky Halloween Decorations

So after a couple of traveling posts, I’m back to design again. I have always been inspired with photography, designs or illustrations done by my co-workers. They’re super talented and fun to work with. Recently the Disney Kaboose team had worked on some fun Printables for Halloween. James, the illustrator, helped with illustrating these “Mix and Match” Printables Monsters for spooky Halloween decorations, while Brittany, the photo editor, helped shooting these.

I know there are tons of Halloween decorations out there. However, finding the coolest one isn’t easy, especially Mix and Match ideas illustration as cute as these (Devil, Dracula, Pirate, Mummy,Vampira, Wolfman and more). I want to share these fun Printables links with you. Please feel free to leave comments and share with your friend which one of the printables is your favorite.

Wuchang Skateboards Design

I recently watched a movie called Ghost of Girlfriends Past. The plot talks about a guy who is haunted by the ghost of his past girlfriends. The story is very similar to Christmas Carol, where each ghost takes you to a different time in your life. As you may recall there is a grim reaper that shows up in the story of Christmas Carol and he looked scary with a skull head.

So, why am I talking about grim reaper in my design blog and it’s not even Halloween yet. Well, I just found an interesting skateboard design with Chinese grim reaper illustrations on it. They are called the Black and White Wuchang. In Chinese mythology, they are the grim reapers from hell whose responsibility is to pick up the spirit from the dead person.

This skateboard set is already in the Chinese market, designed by a young talented designer name Ray. He’s currently 21 years old and studies at Qing Hua College in China. This design grabs my attention right away. The mix of design elements on the skateboard using Chinese decorative elements are very unique and makes me want to explore more of these Asian decorative elements.
