This over-the-top handout for a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons game comes to us from professional graphic designer Stormageadon. A fantastic piece of work, both in the aesthetic and plot-supporting sense.
I was asked to design a libretto to accompany a theater heist that's happening in Waterdeep in my girlfriend's campaign.
I styled it off of late 19th century showbills, borrowing the art of the devil from a 1930s pulp novel. It was built entirely in Photoshop, in my experience in graphic design, finding a good font is 80% of the battle and I relied heavily on Hermann Ihlenburg’s typefaces for inspiration.
One of the biggest challenges with designing something like this is that a lot of the very fun and engaging titles were all drawn by hand, which meant me doing a similar thing, drawing everything with Sharpie and scanning it and then tweaking it to make it look more contemporary. All in all, this is the result of about five and a half hours of work, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
