Clockwork - the patterns of time

The role of a graphic designer is multifaceted, but for me, the heart of graphic design has always been the boundless possibilities of expressing ideas (words, opinions, instructions etc.) with images. In board game design, this becomes particularly clear as many games are fundamentally based on visual communication principles because complex areas of text would interrupt player immersion and the rhythm of the game.

My project combines many graphic design elements including editorial design, packaging design, materiality, illustration and game concept development. Most board games have a background narrative that underpins and contextualises the gameplay - my story features a clock and is themed around the patterns of time.
