GaryRay 0 #1 August 17, 2007 so how did you guys and gals decide on the design of your rig? do you sit there contemplating or do you see others and mimmick, or what kind of artistic thought do you go through? this runs off of that post a pic of your rig.JewBag. www.jewbag.wordpress.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigway 4 #2 August 17, 2007 most manufacturers have flash designers where you can design the rig on their website and have a look at different colours etc. Have a look at www.flyaerodyne.com or www.skydivewings.com I think wings has an excellent one personally. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Tonto 1 #3 August 17, 2007 I look at other people's (dirty) rigs. I see where they are dirty from being picked up, (like the yolk, riser covers) used, (like the leg straps) and crashed (like the corners of the reserve container) and then I choose colours that will hide that in those places and put the colours somewhere else. Obviously team colours or staff colours come into the equasion too. I have a Mirage G4 with 812 dives on it, and a Mirage G3 with 281 dives on it. Both look new, which makes me think I did an OK job. I'll order my next Mirage within a year or so in the same colours, but I'll keep my existing rigs. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkycndo 0 #8 August 17, 2007 Talk to Bonnie (gravitygirl) at GravityGear. She is really good at helping pick colors for rigs and suits. She helped with mine and it turned out great. There are certain colors that fade or get dirty real quick. She'll advise which to stay away from.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

benblee 0 #10 August 18, 2007 I used one of those flash color up things and then did a print out of the colors schemes I thought I might like (5 or 6 of them). Then I just set them out on the coffee table for a few days and tried to take note of the one that jumped out at me the most. http://www.collegeskydiving.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=228Ben Lee www.CollegeSkydiving.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
