Project 2

Game Card Creation

For this project you will create 9 cards for a made up game. This project is about utilizing your Photoshop skills and creating a cohesive design for your cards. Make each card different but keep a common theme.You do not need to make an actual game. Use a google search to get an idea of what cards look like in past and present games. Each card should be 2.5” x 3.5” in size. All your cards should be laid out on one 8.5” x 11”  piece of paper at 180dpi. Save your file with your first name, last initial. ex. JoeVS.jpg. Save your image as a PSD and a JPG.

* creating a back side to your cards. - The best way to do this is to make a pattern for the back instead of using an image or design. Depending on the printer, you may also need to put less cards on a page and keep the card designs in towards the center.
