For my capstone project, I wanted to create a card game that blends fictional themes with the tone of factual storytelling, making something that isn’t real, but feels grounded in reality.
Cryptid Creatures Operation: Shadowed States.
An Investigation Card Game that focuses on collecting evidence, verifying sightings, and solving many mysteries to try and prove that cryptids are “real”.
For this project, I aimed to demonstrate my range of design capabilities through a cohesive set of deliverables. I developed the primary project logo along with variations for each card type. The cards highlight disciplined layout, considered typography, and original illustrations. I extended the visual system into both an art book and a rulebook, applying design principles to create structured, engaging, and clear publications. Finally, I designed custom packaging, including a complete dieline to house the final deliverable.
