City of Heroes Collectible Card Game

Role: Graphic Designer

For the release of the City of Heroes CCG by AEG, I designed a number of supporting graphics, from the logo adaptation, to card icons, to a special convention t-shirt. My first task was to design the “Collectible Card Game” element beneath the existing logo.

Icons at a Glance

I designed these icons to look much more like video game elements than the typical trading card game, with a high degree of polish and 3D feel, while still being readable when placed within the card frames (designed by Mark Jelfo).

Below is a selection of cards showing most of the icons for the game.

Build Your Own Hero Convention T-Shirt

This t-shirt was designed in promotion of the “Build Your Own Hero” aspect of the City of Heroes CCG, in which players could use a “Hero Builder” to design and print their own Paragon Hero with custom powers and a unique illustration.
