Guilty Pleasure card game

Cardgame
I made a Kwartet card game based on different types of food for the swimming club Osse Watervrienden. It was a present to one of the teachers who had stopped after a long time of teaching swimming lessons. I designed all cards and the box in Adobe InDesign and edited the pictures that were taken by all the other teachers of the club in Adobe Photoshop.
Process
With all the teachers of the club, we decided the 13 different themes of the game. Since the leaving teacher is a big fan of biological and healthy food, we decided on a "guilty pleasure" theme: all sugary and unhealthy foods.

Once the theme was decided on, everyone got one or more foods to photograph. These photographs were sent to me, which I edited in Adobe Photoshop so they all matched. I then designed the way every card looked, based on other sortlike games. With every foodtype I added one or more fun facts, a taste profile or the preparation method of said food. I used the fonts of the swimming club to match this aesthetic.

Once the cards were done, I designed the back of the cardgame and the box the cards came in. I added the logo of the swimming club and used the iconic green to make everything match the club exactly the way they wanted.

During the design process I asked for feedback multiple times alongside the other teachers. I used the options they gave me and it all came together in the final product you can see above.
