I’m jumping across projects at the moment, plus trying to map out family arrangements and travel for upcoming holiday that must not be named (at least till Sunday), so my blogging has been a bit erratic - soz for that.

This is a last snapshot of the Carbon City Zero card game project I’ve mentioned in a couple of posts, which has been a brilliant and epic project. This image is my illustration and design for the ‘carbon tracker’ - or score card for the game. It was fascinating to do - involving the logistics of game playing, and the understanding and embedding of the narrative that is behind the game. I wanted to include the idea of change and transition, and more importantly the ideas of choice and consequence which are behind the need to tackle carbon reduction and climate change. I also wanted to hint at the idea that each step is precarious, and linked - that the process is not easy. I also wanted players to know which way to head (i.e. - less is better ;)). Full disclosure - the illustration and layout is me - the font and number positioning was completed by Matt Bonner, the graphic designer for the project with Possible (previously 10:10 Climate Action), the charity which has collaborated with the game.

Anyway here it is, if you like it, check out my previous posts for links about the game, and maybe give it a go? ;)
