I worked on a series of assets for a Youtube channel dedicated to card games, namely featuring Flesh and Bones gameplay.
Firstly, a preliminary illustration was designed to be used as a splash art and general prop for advertisement, as well as for the channel’s profile picture. I designed a “Zero” (taken from the channel’s name) etched in a tavern’s wooden table and imbued with red magic, while a bunch of non-descriptive cards are lying around, evoking the game’s card design in passing.
Other design options included a tavern’s outdoor sign with a golden card framing a black “Zero” forming the twist of a dragon’s body (2). Another option was to associate the “Zero” with a hollow coin, and put it on a table with swirl designs etched within, thus echoing the swirls of certain cards from the game (3). Finally, another option was to make one of the cards come alive, and keep the general color palette and setup of the card’s back to create an eyed monster, thus incorporating the “Zero” into the eye of the card (4).
Secondly, I also designed the overlay for the video edits of the channel, used to frame the gameplay footage and incorporate gameplay information (player names, card showcase, turn number, etc).
I reused the wooden motif to create a continuity between design elements, although making it slightly darker to give more focus to the gameplay itself. Areas dedicated to displaying player and character information were embedded on each side through the use of paper artifacts, and the “Zero” logo was added to the corner of each piece of parchment. Finally, another note area was added to the upper right corner to display the turn number.
