APHANTASIA
APHANTASIA is a strategic card game consisting of 86 unique playing cards. The story takes place in a dystopian swamp where up to six players take on the role of heroes and fight for their survival.
APHANTASIA is the project with which I completed my master's degree in illustration. I developed it together with Michel Porep, who is mainly responsible for the mechanics and the story, while I am responsible for the overall visuals, i.e. the card illustrations and layout, as well as the story. I created the illustrations in ProCreate and the layout in inDesign.
The particular focus of my work was to develop a modern approach that challenges common science fiction clichés. Through the means of exploratory drawing, a new, diverse worldbuilding was created. The layout of the game also represents a modern interpretation of the trading card game genre, combining an editorial style with an accessible layout.
