As the primary visual architect for Cosmic Conquest, I was responsible for defining the entire visual language of the game. My creative direction fused mythic science fiction with clean, player-focused UX design. Deliverables spanned digital and physical formats, maintaining harmony across all game components and user touchpoints.

​

• Designed layout systems, iconography, color hierarchies, and interface composition across the game.

• Developed the cohesive aesthetic tone of the Cosmic Conquest universe — blending celestial fantasy, dystopian technology, and cosmic myth.

• Collaborated closely with Rising Empire Studios to ensure stylistic integrity, visual clarity, and immersive storytelling throughout the user experience.

Each card system was designed to be modular, readable, and visually consistent:

​

• Armory Cards (Front & Back): Designed both sides with interactive elements, vector art, slot indicators, and upgrade modules.

• Contender Cards: Designed all character stat cards with dynamic framing, rarity visuals, and faction identifiers.

• Contender Card Framing System: Developed a tiered framing language to distinguish card rarity, class, and alignment while reinforcing the visual tone of the universe.

I illustrated and designed the 9 iconic planets central to the Cosmic Conquest universe, each serving as thematic battlegrounds and lore anchors.

​

• Each planet features unique terrain, atmospheric lighting, and visual identity.

• Color theory and environmental storytelling were used to communicate cultural ties and faction lore.

• Final illustrations were designed to integrate seamlessly into both full-board visual contexts and zoomed-in card/gameplay scenarios.​​​​​​

Branding extended to character and faction identities — ensuring each was represented with iconic clarity:

​

• 22 Custom Vector Logos: Each representing a unique Contender in the game.

• Logos were designed using character lore, faction type, and power archetype as a foundation.

• Graphic design principles were applied for clarity at small sizes, strong symbolism, and ease of print across merchandise and digital UI.

I built core UI elements and custom assets for player navigation, strategy, and immersion:

​

• Armory Board: Designed the central upgrade and weapon hub of the game, combining tech-inspired UI overlays with functional clarity.

• Planetary Card UI: Developed card layouts that communicate planetary control, travel nodes, and strategic information without overpowering art.

• Player Guide UI: Created a comprehensive interface that communicates rules, turn structures, and action flows.

• Designed 16 unique vector icons used throughout the guide and game board for status effects, action types, and gameplay mechanics.​

From tabletop to digital mockups, I crafted tools that bring clarity and visual storytelling into gameplay:

​

• Designed combat overlays, turn trackers, resource counters, and token systems.

• Created status tokens, phase icons, and visual containers for health, energy, and effects.

• Produced visual aids for galactic board interactions and ability usage that align with the planet and character systems.
