FAQ
What is the difference between this service and full game design?
This service focuses specifically on the physical layout, UI, and packaging of your game. You must provide the finalized rules, mechanics, and any core character illustrations; I provide the spatial board layout, map design, token formatting, and print-ready box packaging.
Will the final files be ready to send directly to a manufacturer?
Yes! All files (board layouts, player mats, tokens, and box covers) are delivered in high-resolution, CMYK color profiles, with the exact bleed margins required by commercial printers like Panda, MPC, or GameCrafter.
Can you design custom shapes for modular boards or die-cut tokens?
Absolutely. If your game requires hex tiles, interlocking puzzle boards, or custom-shaped punchboard tokens, I will map the die-cut lines perfectly for the factory.
Do you create 3D box mockups for Kickstarter or marketing?
Yes. I design the flat packaging templates for printing and provide high-quality 3D mockups of your game box to use for crowdfunding campaigns and pitch decks.
What do you need from me to start designing the board?
Please provide your finalized playtest rules, any rough sketches or prototype photos of the board layout, the physical dimensions you need (e.g., a 20x20 inch folding board), and any existing artwork or logos you want integrated into the design.
