Version_1

The first version of the design was created within a relatively short timeframe. My initial goal was to convey a simple and elegant visual style. However, after completing the player cards, I realized that the design of the player cards and action cards felt disconnected, failing to effectively capture the dynamic energy of the sport. After consulting with my teammates, I decided to retain the design of the player cards and instead focus on refining the design of the action cards.

​

In this version, the design of the soccer field reflects my internal dilemma at the time: should I use more details to enhance the atmosphere, or should I maintain elegant and minimalistic lines, allowing the field to serve as a subtle background? This kind of contradiction is common in design. Personally, I believe that while the second version leans more toward conveying the atmosphere of a soccer field through additional details, the final presentation remains distinct from a design that was intended to be highly detailed and realistic from the outset. Players might subtly sense that beneath the lively background, my initial pursuit of simplicity and elegance still lingers.

Version_2

In the second version of the design, I had three main objectives: 1. Enhance the layering of card designs, 2. Establish a unified overall style, including color and design language, and 3. Highlight the game’s sense of vitality by incorporating energy-related elements. Through continuous adjustments and group feedback, I ultimately presented Version_2.  I believe this version offers a more commercialized visual appeal and greater artistic tension. Compared to the first version, it represents a comprehensive improvement, effectively achieving the goals I initially set.

For the color scheme of the action cards, I incorporated more red, complemented by black, white, and gray to enhance depth. This color choice was inspired by the palettes commonly seen in sports products. Limiting the number of solid colors was intended to emphasize the core visual prominence of the player cards.
