This is my first post for Game Design 110. We were supposed to make a concept card for the instructions of the game "Rock, Paper, Scissors". I started drawing my thumbnails right away, as well as brainstorming different pictures I would want to use in order to explain and talk about the game. The first problem I ran into was explaining how to play rock paper scissors. It seems like its such a simple game that everyone knows, it could be hard to actually say the rules of what to do.
I started making thumbnails mainly focusing that I would have two images on my actual card. I then went into placing areas with the scribble lines showing where I would put the text for an introduction to the game, as well as where the instructions on how to play. Later on I started making the drawings for pictures a little more detailed, because I had a better idea of what I wanted in both pictures. I also experimented a lot with the picture placements, but it was hard to find places to put the pictures while also having the text organized. In the last two thumbnails I experimented with horizontal layout for the instructions card. My two favorite thumbnails that I have would be #9 and #6. 
These were the concept pictures that I liked the most when figuring out what pictures I wanted in my instructions card. I like the Choose wisely card because it has a slightly humorous but true element in the game. I am almost certain I will be using the bottom left picture stating "The Rules" because it is the best representation of the rules I could find, so if someone has a hard time understanding the rules of the game(For whatever reason) the picture would help tremendously.
Very nice layout and use of images. Again these are images that use humor and are very informative at the same time. This is simple but to the point which is very nice.- mdgomezprieto-GDD110
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you turned some of your thumbnails landscape. It opened up a whole new option of layouts that I didn't consider while doing my own. It also doubled the amount of design options that you could do.
ReplyDeleteI liked the become the master picture because it shows the choices you have, combined with the rules picture people would know how to play correctly.
ReplyDeleteVinny DeStefano- I really like the idea of the horizontal layout. your pictures help the reader really see how the game is played while bringing in a little bit of humor into your post.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the images that you chose the only thing that you need to see is that we need to edit the top right image, since the paper doesn't appear, or you just go on Photoshop and do the paper's frame or just place another paper image on it.
ReplyDeleteI really like your concept! It's different but lets players still understand the rules. Your layouts are great. Good job!
ReplyDeleteOne could add more character to it.
ReplyDeleteyour picture selection was smart. I would pick layout 9 because I liked how you played with the rotation of the picture.
