The Poster I Made for The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow

My teacher told me to design a poster for a board game called The Werewolf of Miller's Hollow. I did some research and decided to make a photoshopped, digital poster that embodies the vibe of real human beings, friends playing the board game as characters of that story. Juenzo and Abrill. 

The poster’s concept art highlights the two important key characters of the group game called “The Werewolves of Millers Hollow.” The pilgrims who close their eyes at night to sleep and the werewolves who open their eyes at night to kill. In the little village of Millers Hollow, where this portable party game is set, werewolves commit murders every night. Before the village loses its final few residents, it is now necessary to seize control and vanquish this ancient evil. The poster has a cheeky sense of trouble brewing in the air about it while the beautiful, blindfolded lady Abrill, gives the poster a sense of drama. Technically, the guy Juenzo isn't really a werewolf. The person with wolf characteristics is a friend of the redhead, and he's secretly supposed to be a werewolf since that's what the card he picked up states. The background is a photoshop stencil effect on a pilgrim town photograph. I like how it shows pilgrims gathered and running around town. It’s like an intriguing scene from a movie that makes you hope that the good guys in the game win. I find playing this card game to be very captivating, especially when the special roles are used. The Sheriff, The Hunter, the Witch, the Little Kid, The Fortune Teller. The Werewolves of Millers is a guessing game. Because no one knows who is who and everyone has knowledge to contribute and identities to hide at the same time, this people card game is incredibly intriguing. 

The game starts by the moderator introducing the scenario, which is a sleepy small town, maybe in an alternate dimension. Late 16th-century Pilgrim area of the Southeast South Carolina region. The residents of the town are individuals who are focused on maintaining their farms and crops on a daily basis. One afternoon, a bunch of schoolchildren head down to the stream at the edge of town to go frog catching. The silence is abruptly broken by a scream as the kids scramble up the hillside to their parents' arms for protection. Words like "Terrifying!" and "Blood!" almost escape their shaky mouths as they point trembling fingers at the willow trees along the creek. When the grownups get at the creek, they see one evening guard reclining against a willow tree. His body was ripped, with gashes everywhere. Is he alive? What can be capable of doing this? The word werewolf flows into their minds. The search for answers is on! To appease their fans, this game has released several expansion packs after its initial 2001 release.
