MAFIA

Design development of the board game "Mafia" in Noir style
About the project:
The goal was to rethink the classic game "Mafia," creating a modern, minimalist, and atmospheric visual style for it. The concept is based on the aesthetics of noir films: deep shadows, high contrast, and a limited palette with an accent red color.

What was done:
Visual identity and concept:

Development of the game logo and overall stylistics.

Selection of a font pair: a strong display font Bebas Neue for headings and elegant Palatino Linotype for descriptions.

Definition of the brand palette (Black, White, Crimson Red).

Character illustrations:

Creation of unique vector illustrations for 7 types of cards: Sheriff, Mafia, Mafia Boss, Maniac, Lover, Doctor, and Civilian.

Each character has a distinctive silhouette and easily readable details during the game.

Design of packaging and cards:

Development of the box layout considering die-cutting and assembly.

Creation of a pattern for the card "back" and internal design.

Designing the face side of the cards with an emphasis on typography and iconography.

Technical preparation (Pre-press):

Work fully completed in vector graphics, ensuring perfect clarity when printing in any format.

Files are structured by layers, prepared with bleeds, and technical requirements for the printing house are met.

Key advantages of the solution:
Atmospheric: The Noir style perfectly emphasizes the psychological tension of the game.

Clean typography: The text on the cards remains readable even in low light.

Ready for production: The project is not just an "image," but a fully print-ready product.

Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop (for mockups).
