The "play aid" seen here, along with the cards seen below, were designed to create an extra layer of play when playing with the Lord of the Rings "commander" product in-store.
Originally pitched to be a more infographic approach, I successfully pitched and created the concept of using this beautiful piece of artwork created by Daarken, featuring the iconic moment in the story after the creation of the rings.

Original card art created by Daarken seen here.
Note the heavy photoshop manipulation work I needed to implement in order to modify this original piece into the play aid above.
Commander Party Cards
The cards were created to evoke a "normal" happier state on the front, and a darker ring-tempted side on the back. Line art that existed from packaging created by other teammates was used here to add an addition level of sophistication befitting Lord of the Rings.
