Studio Brief 01: Final Crit

The physical mock up of my design,
each card has a print of part of the pictogram on it. The cards are removable and are therefore collectable by the 'player' / person following the route. After doing research into the original printing of monopoly I decided to make the cards look as much like the originals first printed in 1936 as possible. I chose to use brown paper as I though this would pay homage to the history of it. I also chose to hand print the lettering on it with a stamp kit I had as I thought this would also respect the history of the game and relate well to it.  Here is an image I found of one of the original monopoly title deed cards. I wanted to use this similar style to create my own title deed cards for people to collect containing a historical fact about the specific place.



Here is the card I created, each different place will have a different colour like a monopoly board does.


Bellow you can see the cards in context and what they look like whilst being pulled off.

THE CRIT

The feedback I got from the crit was, that it needed to be seen in context in order to understand it. Possibly using the symbol as a way to direct people.

Rather than having the arrow on the actual place/ building. Using it in-between places in order to direct people. 

Using the monopoly arrow some how. Possibly printing it on the card in the background rather than using the shape as it is too narrow to play around with. 

Split the shape, have one as a directional sign containing cards with clues/ directions to the next place where as the other half of the shape has the historical fact about the place you are at. 

Reference monopoly more. Using the boarded on the cards, the colours, the type face. Possibly using blocks of colours amongst the collage.
