    Hello everyone,
    I'm in a desperate need of a design to design a board game for me and that's why I created this thread. Let me explain what I want...
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/827/digitallv.jpg/
    This is a croquis of my board and what I want on it. Basically, the board in real life will be 60x45 cms. There will be two parts of the board : the central part and the outer part.

    In the central part, the board is divided in 2 (the black line in the middle of my croquis is the separation). There will be 20 squares of the same dimensions in each part, for a total of 40 boxes. I need you to make 20 squares of the same dimensions in each part (for a total of 40 squares) and make a tiny black line so we can know the limits of the boxes. I need you to make the central line black so we can see there are 2 parts to the board. For the center part, I would like you to use a sand dunes background (eg : the front part of this picture : http://www.walldesk.net/pdp/1024/17/05/Great-Sand-Dunes-National-Monument,-Colorado.jpg).

    For the outer part, there will be 16 boxes for the long part (which will make 60 cms long) and 12 boxes for the small part (which will make 45 cms). I need the boxes to be squares and have the same dimensions (dimensions in real life : 3,75 cm x 3,75 cm).
    Basically, there will be 3 ''Sorcier'' boxes, 6 ''Magasin'' boxes, 3 ''Mission'', 4 ''Travail'' boxes, 5 ''Chance'' boxes, 5 ''Malchance'' boxes and 1 ''Dieux'' box. Leave the rest of the boxes on the board empty.

    Basically, this is what I'm asking : http://codinghorror.typepad.com/.a/6a0120a85dcdae970b0120a86d5ee0970b-pi
    The outer part is the Houses, Chance, etc. boxes and the center part is what is empty on this picture.

    Alright. I need this to be done atleast by Friday, May 20th. If there is anything you don't understand, please reply/PM me. Don't be scared to send your boards!

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Do you want the outer set of boxes to be empty?

    Well, as you can see on the first picture, I would like some of them to be empty, some of them not. For the Sorcier, Magasin, Mission, Travail, Chance, Malchance and Dieux boxes, I would like atleast a picture for each of them (the same one) + the name of the box under the picture. For the rest of the boxes, you can leave them empty, and I'll add something else after.

    Thanks !

    Ah, I see now. Guess I should've read all the boxes before asking :p
    I'll give it a shot

    Alright, thanks.
    And if you meant the background of the boxes, you can use a papyrus style background, if you can, or even a wheat field or something like that.

    Wow, it's awesome !
    Do you think you could turn the luminosity up a bit ?
    And will it work for a 66x45 cm board (will we see pixelation or not)
    Thanks for this awesome project!

    Edit : Vector means no pixelation, right :p

    No pixelation will look sharp and clean when printed.

    Alright.
    Do you think you could add a ''Go'' logo or something in the top left corner ?
    Thanks
