Hotflash Game - Illustration, Design & Packaging

      A fun lighthearted approach to Menopause, Hotflash is a game that allows women to get together to laugh about physical changes and learn about noteworthy women in history while also learning a bit more about each other. Hotflash! was designed and illustrated through Vanguard Communications in the summer of 2003.

    Design of the board started with squares leading the players through the game, but circles lent themselves better to the concept of the game. Colors were also important in the design and layout, as both elements needed to be full of life, and had to work well with the illustrations placed throughout the board; six paths, the beginning, end and logo.

    Two decks of cards, Raging Hormones and Hotflash, were designed and incorporated to provide both a look and feel of the rest of the game. One deck speaks of historical facts and information about menopause and women's issues that move you forward or backward throughout the game, while the other deck is full of eye-opening, personal questions that can give you a "hotflash."

    Along with the decks of cards were token cards or pawns that players choose to represent themselves as they travel along the board. Nine in all, the token cards personify objects of womanhood such as tampons or foodstuffs they crave at certain times, such as chocolate. These illustrations were also used to illuminate the packaging.

    This project was a lot of fun and very informative. It will be available for sale at www.hotflashgame.com (which was also designed and programmed by Morgan Mann). If you wish to see more of this project, the logo is on display on the site. Click here to see.
