Board Game Prototype Designer Required I am looking for a graphic designer to create a basic, simple prototype board for an original family board game currently in development. The gameplay mechanics and board structure have already been designed. I have sketches and layout references available, and I now need a designer to turn them into a simple, clean, looking prototype suitable for play testing. This is not a request for elaborate artwork or a fully illustrated commercial board. At this stage, I am simply looking for a clear, attractive and functional prototype that accurately represents the game’s layout and mechanics. Initial Requirements * Create a board based on supplied sketches and reference materials * Circular board with outer track and central feature * Clear playing spaces and pathways * Basic icons and simple graphics where required * Suitable for printing and playtesting * Supply editable source files Ideal Experience * Board game or tabletop game design * Graphic design and layout * Print design * Prototype development Please provide examples of any relevant work, particularly board games, tabletop games or similar projects. Budget As this is an early-stage prototype, I am looking for sensible and realistic pricing rather than a full commercial design package. The objective at this stage is functionality and presentation rather than final production artwork. Future Work The successful designer will be given priority for further paid work as the project develops. This is likely to include card design, component design, board refinement, packaging concepts and production-ready artwork.

Hi, do you already have the board dimensions and print specifications finalized, or should the prototype be prepared with standard print-ready sizing suitable for home testing and future manufacturing refinement? I reviewed your project carefully and understand that at this stage the priority is not creating final commercial artwork, but developing a clean, functional, and professional-looking board game prototype that accurately represents the gameplay mechanics and supports effective playtesting. I can transform your sketches and layout references into a polished prototype board with a clear circular layout, structured pathways, readable play spaces, simple iconography, and organized visual hierarchy while keeping the design practical and easy to iterate on as the game evolves. My focus will be on usability, clarity, and print readiness so testers can easily understand the board and mechanics without unnecessary visual complexity. The final files will be supplied in editable source format, allowing future updates and expansion into cards, components, packaging, and production-ready assets. I’m also interested in the longer-term opportunity and can support future phases including card layouts, game components, rulebook design, packaging concepts, and final manufacturing artwork. Best regards, Hafiz Anas
