Initial Board Game Design Development


For the initial designs of the board game we experimented with using the LCA colour scheme and a very square design for the layout as we were trying to figure out a way in which we could use the space on the board in the best way.

We looked at using the LCA logo to go with the LCA colours. We decided to try and figure out a way in which we could combine both the logo and the colours into the board game so that there was consistency across the board.

The designs above are a combination of my own and charlottes experiments with the colour scheme and the ideas for the layout. After experimenting with the colours and the LCA logo we weren't sure that we liked the combination of the colours and shape in the designs as we thought it looked a bit too over the top and crowded. We therefore asked our peers in our first crit what they thought of the designs and what we could do to improve them. In the crit it was decided that we should definitely include illustrations as we had discussed and possibly cut the designs down to only two colours for the screen print. We could still use either blue pink or purple but use a combination of shades that blend well together. The group also said that the liked the layout of the spaces where the corners were rounded rather than square as it made the game seem less flat. 

The initial designs for the cards were based on the combination of colours that we would choose for the board. Figure 1 shows the original designs for the cards but to develop these further the design decisions for the board needed to be finalised.
