Storytelling through Streets and Ladders

The Project was created by understanding the basic principles and ideas behind Graphic design that involved abstraction and learning about Type. The learnings were then applied to create a project based on the lives of street vendors.  A competitive card game that mimics their life and helps one understand who despite their struggles they stand tall, literally. To appreciate the efforts they put in, a universal experience we all go through it seemed only fair to portray their story of universal struggle they go through in the form of a visual medium that manifested itself into a Board Game.
