Jelly Bean Jumble

While at Fundex Games, I worked on their line of Lunch Box Games. I did illustrations for the boxes as well as components for Cookin Cookies, The Storybook Game and Wormy Apples. Although I left the company a few years ago, they thought of me when they expanded that line with another game called Jelly Bean Jumble. It was great getting back into that way of working after a long break from children's art. Below are sketches and final art for the box illustration as well as the Jelly Bean cards themselves...

6 Rough Concepts (composition predetermined to adhere to brand standards)...........................

1 Final Pencil Sketch - 2nd of 2 revisions (combination of favored elements of the roughs)...........

1 Color Sketch (with layers so the designer could adjust)........................

1 Final Illustration (this is the art I sent that was adapted later to the approved package design)...

And the Beans:

4 Groups of 6 concept beans (4 options)

6 Final Beans (to be printed on cards and die-cut).............

As usual, simple won and won big in this project. Good fun and always an honor to be the guy for the job.
