Board Game: Money Design:

After being tasked with designing the two different credit notes for our game I began by looking at money that already existed in games such as that from monopoly and stock exchange. Both sets of money were fairly similar in design with a single colour used to represent value and a fairly plain and boring design printed around a large centralised number. From this I went on to look at real Sterling and compared this to the replica games money. For my design I wanted to have the intricate detail and style of the Sterling but shrink it down to the size of the board game money.

I started off with simple sketches, working with the 1930's style and concentrating around the image of a Zeppelin. I wanted to stick to the colour schemes of the £20 and £50 notes in an effort to make them easily recognisable to players. In addition to this I also wanted to make the 500C note a lot more detailed than the 100C note to make them easily distinguishable as a different amounts.

Overall, I'm really pleased with the final outcome, and the overall feel of the two different notes. However I feel that the 100C has a more professional feel.
