Sketches

Having analysed the current designs of the cards, this has informed the sketches that have been completed prior to meeting and discussing the brief further with the group. This will give direction to what works and what doesn't. It will also allow for a scale for the illustrations. 

The above sketches demonstrate the idea of including a card that identifies the location of the Great Barrier Reef. This would set the theme of discovery, with the following on cards be focused around discovering the different animals who live in the reef. This would be a way of adding contextual information as well as it being educational.

The above images are of initial sketches of the back side of the cards. Currently, this is where the factual information is presented as well as the top trump element to the designs. The additional information may not be necessary and therefore these designs demonstrate a more simplified option for a design direction.
