PLINKO GAME CONCEPT
_ABSTRACT
This is the next generation concept of the classic Plinko game coming to a mobile phone near you. The vision is to use the device’s 3-axis gyroscope that can detect the angle of the device and effect the movement of the ball. Effects are inspired by traditional pinball games where flippers can change the outcome. Points are awarded based on the ball landing in either: Single, Double, Triple, or Home Run. Based on the leaderboard and performance after three balls, the player gets bonus rounds.
User input that defines game outcomes

Grow your career
_ABSTRACT
Investors Group wanted to theme their career’s landing page on the client-facing website. The challenge was to develop a potent visual metaphor to support the “grow your career” theme. Mountain climbing tools as a visual metaphor were used as icons to showcase the written content. These illustrations are a good compromise between details and simplicity. These icons need to be shown small and large. Too much detail and the artwork vibrates on the screen, and too little detail starts to look cartoony. The illustration solution was to draw shapes to build the image and not use linework to define the shape.
Caption: The digital web team requested high-fidelity sketches of the concept before inking could occur. We used a common colour pathway for all icons. Credit: _DVH
Caption: Illustrations were vector-based SVG files designed for a responsive website. Credit: OnePlusOne, final ink.
_OUTCOME
The illustration project resulted in hundreds of hero and secondary images called icons. We developed an illustration specification and methodology so we could engage several illustrators and an in-house team. Illustrations were designed around a central theme that became the hero image and six supporting icons. All artwork was kept in vector to add to the illustration library to create new artwork from existing digital assets. The outcome was a very consistent illustration library. The total cost of the illustration library was approximately $75,000.00.
