Visual Communication student moving on to the Graphic Design undergraduate course next year with a heavy interest in narrative driven character concept design, an interest which drove this project: 'Forest Floor'.
‘Forest floor’ is a fantasy chess design concept. The pieces are based around the idea of little plant people living on the forest floor hidden from human sight.
In this project I explored narrative through the theme of nature; experimenting with shape, texture, and colour from plants to inform my character design. The chess pieces are designed by collaging nature photography to create human-like characters. This flexible concept design could easily be adapted into a digital game or a physical product.
