Translate Tile Game (Part One)

Let's take a look at some of my previous Graphic Design projects. 

Translate is a typographic tile game that I created for the final modules of my Masters degree. The aim of this single player game is to use the shapes on the tiles to build up images based on a prompt that can be found on the reverse of the tiles.

Each tile is decorated with part of a letter which provides a set of interesting shapes for the player to use. As the project developed, I took care to choose shapes that would allow for as many combinations as possible. The hexagon shaped tiles also contribute to this by providing a grid to work from while also having many different points to connect to other tiles.

The tiles were laser cut and then screen printed and it was quite a challenge to apply the ink consistently across all the tiles, of which there was sixty in total.

With so many tiles, I also designed a wooden box to carry them in.
