Hello fellow designer types.

I am a graphic artist from Minnesota and life time gamer! From around 2003 to 2007 I worked for Fantasy Flight Games. Some of the titles that I did graphic design for include: Decent(1st ed.), Doom the board game, Game of Thrones Board game (1st ed.), Tide of Iron, Blood Bowl team manager, Warrior Knights and Fury of Dracula. While working for FFG I started to get ideas for my own games but never pitched them.

Since leaving FFG I have really missed designing graphics for boards and cards and such and I still have all these ideas for games that I would like to see published.

So I finally decided to do something about and start working on my own games. I found BGDF and hope to get some great feedback and help give some great feedback to members here.

The first game that I am working on is a portable beer and pretzel dungeon crawler. This stemmed from my son asking me to bring "Dungeon" to gymnastics while we wait for his class to start. Well we can't bring the whole board and try to roll dice in the gym lobby so I thought lets design a dungeon crawler that fits in a deck box without dice. So I hope to be posting some more info on this soon.

Also I am available to help people with graphics in their own games.

Looking forward to participating in these forums.

Scott

Welcome to the forum Scott.

Wow, thats cool on your job and career. Welcome once again. Hope to help you out on your game projects Scott. Nice meeting you. What is your fee for graphic artwork for time spent on 1 to 60 cards for a tcg, ccg, and anything in between. Thanks for the information as well.

@Stormy Are you asking about

@Stormy

Are you asking about layout design for cards or Illustration? I am more of a layout designer and not so much of an illustrator. I usually price on a case by case basis. I like to look at the job and quote a flat fee for x number of hours and then charge extra if we go over the time quoted.

So for an easy layout say like MTG that would be less time and cheaper then say a card layout for most FFG games, those cards are layered with textures and graphics and take much longer to set up, thus more expensive to design.

Hope that answers your question.

Any links?

Hi Scott,

I was wondering if you had a website to show samples of your work? Can you provide links to some of the designing you did in the games you mentioned (FFG)?

I know you mentioned that you worked mostly on layouts and that's GREAT! Having a nice layout for a game, especially card games, is very important.

Anyhow, hope you can provide some links, so we can have a better look at what you do best!

Many thanks.
