Project Goal
Design a 2-page table-top roleplaying game. Consider the conditions and concepts that were discussed in class readings.
Play the game with a group of friends and record feedback to make adjustments.
Design Rationale
Inspiration was drawn from apps like Tinder and Instagram to develop visuals that were fun, bright, and contradictory to the game’s darker themes.
Pages are long to insinuate the shape of a phone.
Clean, minimalist elements contrast out with stylized illustrations make for a whimsical, off-putting feel.
Columns (clear categories) to organize information and assure all instructions are included on the page but not in a way that’s too convoluted.
