I was commissioned to provide tabletop game graphic design for the upcoming dice and card game, Flip Switch and Roll.
I worked with Dexter Churchus, designer of the game to produce the box artwork and graphic design, the rulebook and to ensure the game was ready for print by artworking the cards and game elements. Dexter took the game to UK Games Expo and it got a fantastic reception.
Pivot!
We actually changed the art direction of the box during production, and I’m really glad we ended up giving it a second pass. Loved the first idea , a very cool ‘break in case of emergency’ piece of artwork for the box, then the rulebook (the first thing you’d see on opening) would have what looked like the same image but with broken glass on it. The only trouble was, the ‘Break glass in case of emergency’ felt like part of the title, which made it all feel very wordy as a game. So we revisited and just created a dynamic sense of play to the cover using the game elements.

Share the love!
I love my job. I’ve always wanted to be an artist working on fantasy settings, creating worlds that give people real escapism and suspend their disbelief. One of the things I absolutely love though, is the interaction with people who are following along with what I’m doing. Hearing comments, and seeing my work make it’s way around the world makes me so happy!
