Art for Board Game box
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Seeking graphics artist to decorate the box lid for my board game, including the top (10.5" square) and four sides (10.5"x 2.25"). The game title would be prominent with catch phrases, along with standard symbols indicating 4-6 players and 2-4 hours duration. End result is a 15" square jpeg file. Successful project could lead to further work for the interior game components, such as rule book, board, and several types of cards.
"Politico is a game of political intrigue where you are the power behind the throne, manipulating politicians to advance your secret objectives. Your nation is in turmoil after the recent revolution overthrew the government and executed the top leaders. Deputies in each Ministry are stepping up to lead the new government. Use your skills to build or ruin reputations by providing support in elections, promotions, and other events. Gain and use influence to swing the tide for the politicians that hired you. Can you survive the brutal arena of national politics, and become the most powerful puppet master of all?"
The game is a semi-serious poke at politics and lobbyists in general. The desired art would be somewhat cartoonish caricatures with big heads and small bodies, and a flavor of slimeball money-grubbers, greasy backroom deals, slick PR spin, fake news, and underhanded tricks. Could include elements of government buildings like rotundas or tall Romanesque pillars.
Initial thoughts are "Politico" in large lettering, with a leering puppet-master looming over small shadowy figures on strings. Repeat "Politico" on the sides, with smaller letting for "manipulate political events" and "build or ruin reputations".
Some samples are attached to give the general idea of desired level of "cartoonish".
