The Wizard Always Wins

Designer: Prospero Hall
Publisher: Big G Creative

As a child of the late-70’s and early-80’s, I’ve always had a soft spot for the fantasy aesthetic of that period. Whether is was Masters of the Universe, Ralph Bakshi’s “Wizards” or the early D&D manuals, there was a unique feel to it what manages to be both trippy and futuristic at the same time, while still being “fantasy.” The Wizard Always Wins, ended up being a love letter to that time period and aesthetic.

As a Product Designer on this game, my contributions included:

• Graphic design on the packaging, cards, tokens and all internal components.

• Developing the synthwave-meets-70’s fantasy aesthetic.

• Designing the color scheme, iconography and typography system.

• Working with an illustrator to develop the Wizard, and the six other characters featured in the game.
