Craft: I created this game board using Adobe Illustrator. The overall construction of the board consisted of copying and pasting multiple rectangles and arranging them in a snake-like pattern. The structure consisted of several layers with a rectangular blue fill for the background, a dark blue background with stars to emulate outer space. Most of the illustrated images were made by tracing images found on the internet, ordering the components of the image into different layers, and coloring each separate layer. These different components were then grouped together to fit onto the squares.
Concept: The gameplay is based off a video game where the object of the game is to guide the hero to the exit while surpassing the traps set by the evil villain, Dr. Bones. The game board consists both traps that send the hero a specific amount of squares or power-ups that advance him a certain amount of spaces. The blackhole sends the hero back to the beginning of the board. Once the hero reaches the flag, he can be transported to safety.
Composition: I chose colors that would work well together based off of early, 8-bit style or game graphics. The color yellow played an important role in straightforwardly letting the player know when a power-up or trap has been landed on. In the next revision, I hope to add more space- like qualities by adding a safe planet in the middle of the composition and making the board larger.
