New card sample, Potion of Speed
The more I've seen others' work in game design, the more inadequate I have felt. The cards for Archon Arena as they currently stand are functional but far from beautiful.
My goal is to have an original, professional looking design that clearly communicates the cards' information. I have thought about hiring a template artist and may still do so, but first I thought I would give it a crack myself.
The image above is the initial result of that effort. Overall, I like it. There are things that I'm not 100% satisfied with, and I still have to do the other six types of cards, but I think it's a good start. If I have to go and hire a graphic artist in the future I'll have a good base for them to work from.
I've started eliciting opinions. It'd be great to hear your general reactions or specific comments.
