Another #fantasticaluniquities #TTRPG poster! Everyone had that experience at the athenaeum where some barely-trained local inquisitor came in to tell the class that Cantrips Are One More Gateway To The Occult.

I was tinkering with letter-hacking and ended up making another #fantasticaluniquities #TTRPG poster. This was inspired in part by a page from the Book of Durrow (an illuminated manuscript from ~680 CE).

In January, while reading books on graphic design, I made a #TTRPG poster every day to practice the skills. I don't have the time to sustain that daily pace, but I have a bunch of sketched ideas I hope to get around to making.
I have some reflections on this 70+ hour exercise in professional development. As well as learning some tricks with layout and software, this process has particularly helped with approaching the page with a higher level of *intentionality*.
I started this month challenging myself to pick up some graphic design skills by reading and making an A4-sized fantasy poster every single day. You can check them all out in the #fantasticaluniquities tag.
What's next? I can't keep this pace up, but it's been fun, and I have more design books to read, so I'll probably be adding to this corpus every now and then. At the end of the year I might compile everything I've made into a book.
And with this, I've made a #fantasticaluniquities #TTRPG poster for every day of January! 🎊

Today's #design dabbling: Playing with colour and spacing. The sword is built from pieces of swords, then duplicated in different layer modes slightly offset. I picked sword-shaped fonts and used bevelling and layers to make them jittery.
Here's today's #fantasticaluniquities #TTRPG poster! It's a Collection of Imps Trapped in Stamps.

Here's my twenty-ninth #fantasticaluniquities poster! When I was first thinking about doing this graphic design challenge, one of my ideas was a whole magazine-style series on #TTRPG adventuring equipment.

Another #fantasticaluniquities poster! Inspirations for this card game include: the planet cards in Balatro; the gods' game in Discworld; every #TTRPG which promises you can get here.
