So, it’s been a little while between posts… I know. I’ve been busy at work trying to get everything squared away so that I could have a quiet, client-free week at home for the holidays. Also, We had our annual office Polyanna exchange. So, this is what I’ve been working on… when not at work.
If you didn’t know, I work at a design group. As you might imagine gift giving is a creative event (as is most things at the office, nature of the beast and all). Every year one guy makes a full-out action figure of the person they have as their Polyanna recipient. I mean package, accesories and logos. Everything.
Well, I tried to rise up to the task this year and create a board game for my Polyanna recipient, Jake.
Jake likes to eat, yet he never gains a pound. That’s what I based the game on.
The illustration above is the box cover, but I made the back, the insert, the game board (of course) and customized some Candy Land pieces for the game.
The illo was a sketch, scanned into Photoshop, painted in Photoshop using my Wacom tablet and lots of sleepless evenings, and the logo was created in illustrator first then brought into Photoshop for the rendering.
It was a fun project and Jake seemed to get a kick out of it.
I’m going to get some sleep now, before Santa gets here and realizes we have no milk or cookies.
