The Haunted Almanac is a collection of tabletop games and modules the Ennies Award winner Nate Treme published in the form of fanzines during 2019-2021 period. Since each game was published in diferent formats, materials and dimensions, the project scope demanded a new layout for all them that basically accomplished two things:
1. Unity
The games are part of a whole and the book should work as an anthology. Frankenstein is cool to a certain degree.
2. Diversity
At the same time, each project should feel alive with it’s own vibrant personality, distinct from each other.
The Black Edge
One of the ways to achieve the unity was to visually seal the book as if it was an arcane dark tome. The black painted edge really made the object feel like a forbidden treasure box.
The Content Collage
The DIY spirit of Treme’s art inspired me to design a meta-collage. Mixing his own art with remixed public domain art I’ve managed to create a visual syntax through the project.
