Daybreak
Client: CYMK Games
Role: Illustrator
The brief.
Daybreak is a board game about stopping climate change. The game is designed by Matt Leacock, the creator of Pandemic and Matteo Menapace.
I had the privilege of working alongside so many talented illustrators to bring the game and its cards to life.
The process.
As someone who specialises in the themes of landscapes and sustainability this was a dream for me. The colour palette was very loose, the dimensions standard 2:3.
The challenge was the amount of space and the complexity of the topics that I had to illustrate for each card. It meant researching what the cards meant and finding a way to simplify themes like emissions technology.
The research part of the project was the most interesting, I worked in collaboration with the art director to highlight the most important symbols in each card. Splitting the composition so each element had enough space to breathe, making sure each card was balanced in terms of detail.
