ALICE'S FINAL BANK NOTE DESIGNS






















OK I am still trying to put the box design on the blog! My computer is just being slow. Also, I have just printed out the box design and realised the 'NEXUS' logo isn' on it. Therefor, I think
we should print out a copy of the logo and stick it along one of the sides of the box.
Steph
JEFF! plz can i have the thingy ma jig thing on the blog so i can put it on the instructions.
also jeff sez i cant put thingy ma ig thing so it means the box design.
im sorry jeff...
Yeah Steph good decision there, it would have taken too much time..........
Hal I know the board is hard to do so wel done :D


this is the fini design
OK we are getting rid of the ida of TV Chance cards- it might prove too complicated to make and we can't think of at least 20 different things to put on them.
OK I am starting the 'TV Chance' cards but I need some ideas for
what to put on them. Such as ''Your recently bought piolt TV show was very
successful. Collect £200 bonus from the bank''
Anyone have any ideas?
Steph
Ok Dan has just gone to have his picture taken and I will attempt to put it on the bank notes.... Haha good times....
I am struggling to import my final design for the
box. I will keep trying!
Steph
i fini the board game i need to know what im gonna put in the squares for the game boared?????

Thursday, 20 November 2008

Good stuff Dan :)
Next lesson someone needs to design some property cards.... Steph (or maybe it was Dan) had a good idea to do Chance/ Community Chest type cards as well.
Yay.
finished draft instructions!!!!!



Yep. Here's my £10 and £20. It shouldn't take too long to do the others as well.
Mr Walker just said it takes ages to prt the board game.... so Hal go as fast as you can!!!
Good work people.... Keep posting up every idea and designs....just general stuff.
:D
OK Alice the money looks great!
Do you think we should paste some pictures or ideas of what we have for the
board game on the blog?
Ok I've started on the bank notes....
We're having £10, £50, £100, £200 and £500.

Yeah I like your card. You could change the background colour-it's up to yo
Great design thou
Steph
should i change the colour to go with the black? cos black n blue can go but i dont tink it does


obviously the logo would be on the back too (the left hand side)
Nice Logo!
If the background of the card is white I think you should keep it blue/black.
Steph
actually that logo is really good well done........
i'm gonna upload one of my cards that I've messed around with a bit....
wot do u lot think? is it better than before?
wb xx


what do a tink different colour?
I think you should keep the logo black, it looks good :)

black goes with n e thing :)

ta :D

Steph
i think the snowmen are a wee bit strehed but tother one okay!!!!!!!

i think tis card will be the front !!

i think we need to stick our logo i n our cards ?!

Jan Crd without logo

too stretched or not? i don't want to change all my cards before u lot tell me incase u think they're too stretched.......

Feb Card without logo


yeh, everyones are good so far bcoz we are each sticking to our own style (and to pop art!)
good stuff guys :)
do we need to comment on our own cards????

December Card2



Does anyone think this looks stretched?

Make sure the front pic is exactly half of the page so that it folds properly....

We can just copy it off the page I think :)
Oh and Dan just do any colour you like :D
we can always change it if our card needs a different colour......
Good idea on the logo, if Dan makes it should you send it to us (e-mail) so we can use it on our cards?
yeah im gonna work on it, we got any colour scheme we want to go with?



Ok guys we need to each change our designs so that we have a back to our cards, Dan are you working on a logo?
