Frequently Asked Questions - Design options & how to choose the right shape
ANTERO gives you total control over the top sheet design of your deck.
It’s as easy as this:
1. Choose your perfectly matched shape
If you need help to determine your perfectly matched shape, just use the “Board Finder”. Specify your riding style, your boot size and your weight and let us point you in the right direction.
If you know which shape is the right one for you, keep going on with the “Board Selector” which enables you to choose your favorite model on your own.
2. Design your Deck
After you’ve selected the right ANTERO model simply click the button “Download Template” and save it on your local computer. There you go! Start designing your own top sheet graphic
Please consider our design guides before you start:
· The file format of your graphic must always be.png.
· The used color format must always be RGB.
· The minimum resolution of your graphic file must be 150 dpi.
· The size of your file must be 2010 x 9862 pixels.
Your artwork needs to fill up the whole rectangle, not only your individual board outline which is marked in your downloaded template. Please also consider the bindings area when you design your art, to avoid that your real masterpiece gets hidden behind.
Keep in mind that ANTERO is not responsible for any copyright or third party rights violations. You are obliged to verify by yourself that you are not infringing any third party trademark rights or copyrights.

In most cases the colors of your snowboard design will correspond to the color preview on your computer. But you have to consider that different screen settings can cause color variances. Deviations between the colors on your monitor and your final board design can particularly arise if you use bright colors.
Antero is not liable for such color deviations caused by monitor/display or application color mode settings. Additionally color deviations don’t fall under accepted warranty claims.
