AI concept Placement guide
Shin
The shin is a bold, graphic placement — a flat front surface that shows a design head-on. It is popular for vertical snakes and geometric pieces, and it reads instantly when you are seated.
A long, hard, flat-fronted surface — snakes work as a vertical line down the front of the leg, reading clearly when you sit.
- Size range
- Medium — a vertical piece down the front of the shin.
- Detail
- Detail holds well on the flat front, but the skin is thin over bone and the surface is narrow. Bold, graphic designs suit it better than soft realism.
- Comfort
- Intense for most people — the shin is notorious, with little padding over the bone.
- Visibility
- Medium — shown in shorts, a talking point when seated.
- Aging & wear
- Shins are durable but exposed to knocks and sun in summer.
