This week Timon and i worked on building the board game. At first we went to TOP1TOYS for a giant dice. We wanted it to be huge and soft so we didn’t had to worry about the kids losing it or hurting others with it or even eat it 😉
After that we went to the ACTION to buy paint and brushes so we could give our board game a more finished look. Later on we made a list for all the stuff we needed from the craft store. Then we went out and collected everything we needed. We used this thing called MDF (i don’t know the right word in English) but didn’t thought about the thickness of the material so we thought we measured everything just perfect but then find out that it sticks out a little bit because of the thickness.
Once we got the materials we made a plan on which colors we would use for which layer:
Ground: Black
Bottom Layer: Gradient black/blue
Middle Layer: Gradient blue/purple
Top Layer: Gradient purple/ping
We had to paint it a couple of times since the paint dried up too dark. So it took us a lot of time to get it done. By the end of the day we weren’t finished so i decided to bring everything home to continue painting.
Once i finished the backgrounds i asked the rest of the team members on what i should draw/paint on the sides of the board game so it matches the story and app etc. otherwise it would look very boring.
So late at night i drew/paint trees on it which you can also find in one of Annelie’s backgrounds. I tried to match the pastel colors to the ones she had used.
The following day i met up with Timon at school so we could continue working on the board game.
