Fancy Animals...struggling with the graphic design
-
I love it- I would maybe just shrink the font to fit Fancy Animals in the gold frame. So professional looking
-
I agree with the thoughts of everyone, I would add that the frames are Awesome, just maybe a little too thick. Think them out and add color/dimension to your lettering and your animals could be bigger. I am an instant fan! great job!
-
I appreciate all the suggestions! I will work on them all and see if I can it better--I can already picture some of them and I agree it would improve things greatly!
Also: I'll post a picture of the box when it arrives--just to see how it looks "in the flesh".
-
This is an updated design for the box (different sized box). I am actually really happy with it:
Here it is in action on my shelf:
-
@mattramsey This looks so great Matt!!!
-
I would pick this up instantly. Looks awesome!
-
Rally really awesome. People will like to have it on their own shelfs.
-
Very Cool. I'm Jealous
-
Fantastic!
-
This looks great .
-
@mattramsey The updated look is great! Well done!
Is this for a games publisher or a self-pub? Sorry I guess I don't know the backstory behind the project. I have started doing a fair amount of work in the board game industry so I have been wrestling with restrictions native to that particular way for printing, etc.
Love the industry, hoping to get more work there.

Thank you everybody for the kind feedback! It means a lot to me.
@andyjewett This is a game I've designed and am doing the art for (I'm not finished with the point (clothing) cards)--I plan on submitting it to various publishers and hopefully one will pick it up. I've done a lot of research on Kickstarter and I'd really rather not have to go that route but it might be a possibility.
I'm also working with Robert Couch (he is the designer of the new Saloon Tycoon game) on a card game he designed. It's tentatively called "Eight Arms to Hold You." I am just doing the art for that one--I have a separate thread on here that I will keep updated.
-
It looks fantastic and really professionally finished @mattramsey - congratulations! I hope you have success finding a publisher for it.
-
@Dulcie Thank you! I think I did pretty good on the design if I do say so myself--I'm bragging because I am NOT a graphic designer and I really struggle at things like that. Plus I know that a real graphic designer could find a lot wrong with what I did.
I don't think I even did any kerning on that font. I just let er rip. Turned out good to my eye. If I do get this sold I am sure a publisher will change it.
-
@mattramsey You should be really happy with this Matt - it really looks fantastic! And like the others have already said, seeing that box I would definite pick it up to find out more about the game for sure. Really really nice how this is all coming together!

@mattramsey Looks great!
