Timeframe: Week 04 - Week 05

Description: We are to carry on from proposal development and continue to develop the final proposal with a comprehensive design proposition. It shall contain the curation of the production process while demonstrating resourcefulness and creativity in effectively channeling and managing resources and potential risks to drive solutions in the complex and dynamic environments and/or contemporary real-world settings.

Since we start our rough sketch from the previous task and the content on our board game. I went home and continued designing the visuals of our board game.

Me and Rafa decided to work together on the card games. I will design the minigames cards, while Rafa will work on the Role Cards. Here is the sketches.

To get more knowledge about the traditional games in Korea. I decided to ask in our group on what kind of games I could include in the card and everyone brainstormed together.

After getting everything, and with the help of my group mates of how the visuals gonna look like on each game, I start with the designing.

fig 1.5 Minigames Cards Sketches Week 4 (24/02/2025)

I've decided to design the instructions for the Minigame Cards to be open like this as I think if I straightaway place the instructions on the back of the card, it will not look nice.

We decided to change the dice for the board game as well as we thought people might get confused or have no idea on how to play ddakji to determine the steps for the WHODYTHINKUR?

For the dice, we change to coin. Heads is 1 step, Tails is 2 Step.

After showing to Ms Vit, she said the visuals all together is not consistent and that we should stick to one theme of the visual.

She even asked us not to get too stressed and give us some tips and what will happen for the exhibition later in next semester and even sketch out for us.

After discussing with my groupmates, we come up a colour palette that we should stick to for all the elements of our board game and we decided to stick with these. 

We also tried to play our game as Ms Vit suggested we should so we know which part we should improve on or change.

We have to redo the logo again, as it is to colourful and doesn't give creepy vibes. Readability

is also a problem so we change it to Who 'R You?

We figured it's bad so we change it again and added our logo icon. And tried a different spelling on the logo.

After week 6 feedback, we finalised some designs on the logo, role cards, minigame cards and coin. 

As our logo can be read as "whore" so we decided to change it again to be more simple.

Ms Anis suggest we could use this version of the logo to improve on.

FEEDBACK

Week 4: Try to play the game first and see what needs to change, for the card games for the back view, make sure to put your logo and not some squid game shape as people are playing your game.

Week 5: Do not directly copy of Squid Game. It's okay if you're inspired by it but don't create a rip off version. The logo and the overall vibe does not give out the creepy side so work on that. Try to reflect the minigames into Southeast Asia cultures as your games is mainly focus on Squid Game's games.

Week 6: Add more blood stain or fingerprint texture on the card and the board to keep the consistency. When applying texture, make sure to use the blending mode to blend in with the existing design. For role cards, change to a mugshot background so it makes more sense.

REFLECTION

It was a demanding and rewarding experience to work on WHO 'R U? design propositions. I worked hard with my group members to create sketches and graphic concepts that would best convey our project. We discovered that our early sketches lacked coherence after consulting with Ms. Vit, particularly with regard to the color scheme and typography. Her comments made it clearer to us how crucial it is to preserve a consistent design identity in order to guarantee a powerful and identifiable visual direction.

The process of designing was challenging because we had to repeatedly strengthen our concepts. We put a lot of effort into refining our first drafts, ensuring that all the colors, typefaces, and general aesthetic elements complemented the project's desired subject. Although there was a lot of trial and error during the process, it was satisfying to watch how our drawings developed into a more cohesive and finished idea.

Despite the challenges, this experience taught us the importance of teamwork, meticulousness, and flexibility in design. An important aspect of the process was learning how to improve our work and accept constructive criticism. Our sketches eventually became a stronger, more unified design that accurately captured our concept.
