Anatomy of a Card

in I DO MY OWN STUNTS players complete movie scenes by rolling and placing meeples on scene cards. This means that I'd have to design my own cards for the game.

I always imagined the cards as looking like film strips with perforations on the edges.

 I usually hand-draw my prototypes to begin with. It's often faster for me to do this than do it on a computer.

The next step is fitting all of the information on a card. I did some "test run" cards to use in my prototype.
 

Because I like to draw, I couldn't resist creating some art for the cards. I'm not sure whether I should create the art in this style, trying something else or hire someone to create it. The problem is, the budget of this game is tight, so hiring someone might not be an option.

 Do you like this cartoony style? Let me know in the comments.

Next, I create a digital version of the card. This allows me to play around with the orientation and combinations of elements.

 

 

These cards have a lot of elements on them and legibility is of primary importance.  Which layout do you think works best?

Needless to say, there's still a lot of work to be done - not to mention other cards to be created. I'll keep you posted as things progress.

There's a dozen backer spots left to be filled! You can help this project by sharing these posts and letting your gamer friends know about it! Thanks in advance for your support!
