O Jogo dos Tronos: desenvolvimento de baralho temático de "As Crônicas de Gelo e Fogo"

Abstract

This work presents the development of an illustrated deck of cards inspired by the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, with emphasis on describing the creative process, the visual e bibliographical research conducted and the artistic potential of illustrations applied to playing cards. Initially, an investigation was conducted into the historical origin of decks of cards, showcasing examples of cards produced in different time periods and cultural contexts in order to give the project conceptual and visual basis. Next, the technical procedures adopted in the development of the deck are detailed, including the digital creation stages, the tools and softwares used in the production of the 54 cards. The project resulted in the development of 14 original illustrations, in which characters from the book series replace the traditional figures of jacks, queens, kings, and jokers. Furthermore, the work includes the creation of the card back design, typography, suits, and packaging, all customized with the intent of establishing visual unity and thematic coherence with the fictional universe of the books that inspired the deck.
