Abstract
A whiteboard having a mounting assembly having a semi-flexible substrate having a design face and a mounting face, said design face including printed indicia having high contrast outlines, and a mounting assembly, having a star socket having a contoured face, a centrally arranged aperture circumscribed by a plurality of tabs, each of the end of the plurality of tabs contoured in a direction towards a base, a stud plate having a stud extending from a base, the stud having a annular ring arranged thereon, the base of the stud plate arranged to be removably secured to an external structure, wherein the stud of the stud plate is arranged to be frictionally secured within the aperture such that the annular ring of the stud creates interference with the each of the end of the plurality of tabs of the star socket.

A whiteboard having a mounting assembly, comprising:
- a semi-flexible substrate having a design face and a mounting face, said design face including printed indicia having high contrast outlines;
- and,
- a mounting assembly, comprising:
- a star socket having a contoured face extending from a base, said contoured face having a centrally arranged aperture circumscribed by a plurality of tabs, each of said plurality of tabs having an end arranged proximate to a center point of said base, said each of said end of said plurality of tabs contoured in a direction towards said base, said base fixedly secured to said mounting face of said semi-flexible substrate;
- a stud plate having a stud extending from a base, said stud having an annular ring arranged thereon, said base having a centrally arranged through-bore, said base of said stud plate arranged to be removably secured to an external structure,
- wherein said stud of said stud plate is arranged to be frictionally secured within said aperture such that said annular ring of said stud creates interference with said each of said end of said plurality of tabs of said star socket.

A mounting assembly, comprising:
- a star socket having a contoured face extending from a base, said contoured face having a centrally arranged aperture circumscribed by a plurality of tabs, each of said plurality of tabs having an end arranged proximate to a center point of said base, each of said ends of said plurality of tabs contoured in a direction towards said base, said base operatively arranged to fixedly secure to an object;
- a stud plate having a stud extending from a base, said stud having an annular ring arranged thereon, said base having a centrally arranged through-bore, said base of said stud plate arranged to be removably secured to an external structure,
- wherein said stud of said stud plate is arranged to be frictionally secured within said aperture such that said annular ring of said stud creates interference with said each of the ends of said plurality of tabs of said star socket.
A whiteboard, comprising:
- a semi-flexible substrate having an outwardly facing design surface of a first color and an opposing inwardly facing surface, said outwardly facing design surface having an outer border about an entire perimeter thereof, said outer border comprising printed indicia of a second color which contrasts with said first color, wherein said outer border defines a shape of an object, said outwardly facing design surface further comprising at least one inner border, wherein said at least one inner border intersects at least said outer border at two points, or intersects at least one inner border at one point and said outer border at one point, or intersects at least one other inner border at one point and a different inner border at a second point, wherein each of said at least one inner border comprises printed indicia of a third color which contrasts with said first color, wherein said inner and outer borders intersect one another in such a way as to create discrete portions of said design surface and function as to create lines of demarcation between adjacent portions to define a surface area of said portions to be filled with a specific color of removable printed indicia.
