Board Game - Further Development

Board Game - Further Development:

After the crit we used the tips from our peers to develop the designs further and make the changes that were suggested in order to make the designs better. When looking at the layout of the spaces for the game we decided to stick to using curved edges as our peers suggested but needed to come up with the pattern for it. We decided to experiment with the number '130' as it is the room number of our design studio. We thought that this added another personal touch to the game and gave the layout some relevance.

In order to improve the board game we first designed some illustrations to go onto the background of the board. We decided to make small illustrations which had some relevance to what we would be writing on the cards for the tips, forfeits and rewards. 

We originally tried the new layout and the use of the illustrations as the background design for the board with the original LCA colours to see how the new layout would affect the design but decided that they definitely need toning down or changing. 

We decided to try a completely different set of colours as an experiment. The monochrome colour scheme was contrasted by the bold yellow.

After realising that the LCA colours were definitely not going to work in the way which we wanted them to we decided to look at using just two colours like suggested in the crit for our screen print. Charlotte spend time experimenting with the designs and changing the colour combinations while I washed and put emulsion onto a screen for us to be able to expose the designs and print the next day. We decided that the best combination from the LCA colours was the pink and the blue but after using them on their own we decided we would need to use different shades of the colours for the design to look most aesthetically pleasing. After experimenting with different shades of the colours pink and blue we found that the best variation of the college colours for our design was a dark blue and pale pink. These colours complimented each other and represent the college colours therefore representing that students should let their surroundings influence their design decision.
