Designing of the Cards

For the back of the cards we wanted to use symbols which the first years would recognise as elements from the design process. This meant using things like a cursor and guides.

These ideas seemed to be looking a little old fashioned when we wanted to create something more modern. It was also thought that the design should reflect the complicated course. Leading to the idea of 3D shapes and optical illusions.

The most favoured design was the cubes as they would give a strong structure to the front of the card where the writing goes. Also they inspired an idea for the actual board stemming from the optical illusion idea.

For the front of the cards we wanted to stick as closely to the game of life cards as possible with regards to the layout. This is so people playing the game have some sort of reference to the other game to help them understand how to play.
