FMP : day 25

 lot of complicated work has been done today. I have been down in the print room discussing how i would make the board for my final outcome. I have created a mockup of a smaller one that looks good. Although has it's faults. I was hopefully trying to get down the final outcome today but there was a problem with the printing and it was printed out at the wrong size.

FMP : day 24

Todays focus has been trying to design my character tokens. This job took up a lot of time as i had to keep experimenting with how i would get the actual tokens to stand up when on the board.
The actual design of the tokens comes from a game that specifically involves characters that have different colours. This is perfect for me because it means that it is a simple recolour job that i have to do to each of the 6 tokens. That was relativley easy to do and didn't take up too much of my time.
After designing it i tried to cut them out in a way where they could slot into each other easily. But when you look at the actual result it doesn't look how you would want it to. Sometimes the characters won't match up and it just didn't work.

FMP : day 23

Today i tried to make a final mockup of my final board. It was harder than i thought it would be to make. I tried 3 times and each time i had come up with a different way to do it. Each had it's own problems. I will try this again tomorrow when a certain tutor is in who knows all about this kind of stuff.
Other than that i began to design some player tokens for my board game. They will be made in the same style that i have drawn everything else.

FMP : day 22

Today has been probably the most tedious of work days. It has been spent refining the smallest of details to do with my property cards making sure they are aligned properly and easy to look at.
I have printed out all of my chance and community chest cards and made mock ups of what they will look like. I have received feedback about them and know what to do to improve them after this.

FMP : day 21

today has been a bit of a pain. I have been making the property cards to go along with the board. I have been writing up how much each individual space will cost and the cost of each house.
later on i discovered i made a bit of an error and had to fix that which was a bit of a pain as well.

FMP : day 20

Today i have primarily focused on the chance and community chest cards. It was harder than i thought thinking of pre existing cards and adding a game variant to them. But hopefully they should all be finished now and ready to be printed off.

FMP : day 19

Today i have been working more on the board design. I have nearly completed it with added logo. I think it looks really good so far but all i got to do to it now is to add the place names and create the cards that follow each space.
I have created the final look for the money that will be used in game.

FMP : day 18

Due to the lack of being able to go on my Mac i have been unable to do the things that i wanted to do so instead i have began working on a more refined logo that is more of my own design.  As the logo i made before i took a lot of the design from a pre existing Monopoly logo. The logo that i have designed is much more sophisticated than the last one.

FMP : day 17

Today i got in late again due to the job center so i had to make do with another half days worth of work. But so far i managed to do quite a lot on the design of my logo. I drew it up on illustrator from a drawing i made already and experimented on photoshop with the brush tool to make the illustration pop out at you.
