Board Game proposal

The box shape and size that I would like to use for my board game is a  rectangle box. I would like to do a rectangle box because I can use my creative skills to create the perfect board game cover for Harry Potter.

 The exact size of the board game that I would like to create is A3 420 mm x A3 297mm. The type of game that I am thinking about creating is a simple board game using my Harry Potter research from the trip that I have been to.


The characters that I would like to use for my main design is some creatures that I have created myself using Photoshop. The place on my board game box that I would put the characters  is spread out across the box. I would  like to have one of my 3 creature characters looking as though it is going into the game because I want to show the Harry Potter theme to the box. The other two characters for my game box would also be going into the game with one looking as though it has just come out of  the game.

The photos that I am going to use for my board game is a pig photo from my Stone Bridge Farm photo, part of a hen, the crown part, part of a horse, duck and sheep.  The type of characters  that I am going to merge together to create a new creature is to use the horses head for the duck to create a kind of horse duck, a horse sheep by using a sheep head merged onto a horse body(a white horse) and the last one is by merging together the hen crown onto the pig body to create a king pig for the game. This could show that my kingpig is one of the good creatures compared to the other creatures that I would like to create.

The type of game that I would like to create is a Monopoly game. This is because I feel as though it would work well as a baord game cover fofr me to create, instead of choosing a different game. Harry Potter to me is a bit like the game of Monopoly with a message inside the game. I would like to create a board game cover that uses its own message to tell the audience what the game is without explaining what the game is.

The problems that I might have with creating my board game cover is timing. Making sure that I have created it on time. Also I might have the problem of not being able to blend and merge the photos together  to create one image because I am not confident  with using Photoshop. Another problem that I might have with creating my box is running out of time which refers to the first problem, because I could distract myself whilst creating the box aswell as bumping into other problems that I haven't mentioned.
