My city-building board game needs a set of crisp, realistic illustrations to bring the playing cards to life. The artwork should evoke the feel of an elegant, modern metropolis—think detailed architecture, bustling streets, and subtle atmospheric lighting rather than cartoon exaggeration. Scope • 20 different size cards front and back. Each card will depict a unique building, landmark, or urban scenario that matches its in-game function. • A consistent visual language: colour palette, perspective, and level of detail must remain uniform so the deck reads as a cohesive collection. • Print-ready files in CMYK, 300 dpi, with 3 mm bleed. Layered PSD or AI originals are part of the final hand-off; flattened TIFFs/PDFs for the printer as well. Creative Direction Style: Realistic (not stylised cartoon or abstract). Theme: City building—sleek, contemporary, slightly aspirational rather than gritty. Reference real-world urban planning, modern skylines, and clean design motifs. Process & Check-ins 1. Mood board & six rough thumbnails for sign-off. 2. Line art pass on all cards. 3. Colour/rendering on five sample cards to nail palettes. 4. Full set colouring. 5. Final polish and export. Acceptance Criteria • Every illustration accurately matches its card’s mechanical description (supplied after hire). • Colours remain vibrant but balanced once converted to CMYK. • No visible compression artefacts at 300 dpi. • All source layers are clearly named and organised. If this kind of realistic, city-focused card art is right up your alley, let’s chat so I can share the card list and reference package.
