Road Trip Games A Mid-Century Inspired Illustrated Card Deck
The essential companion to keeping you and your friends entertained on your next road trip. Travel has become a little…complicated over the past few years, so more and more people are rediscovering the joys of the humble road trip. There’s never been a better time to hit the road with a car full of friends. Featuring timeless classics such as “I Spy,” “Never Have I Ever,” and plenty of new games, this gorgeously designed deck will keep you entertained and the conversations flowing on your adventures.
I worked with Smith Street Books on this dream project that consisted of 50 mid-century inspired card illustrations, back layouts, and box design.

The Box
The box design is an homage to the road trip theme of the deck, sporting a captivating color that practically begs to be plucked from the shelf. The front showcases a winding road cutting through the cactus-lined desert, adorned with carefully crafted typography, while a map-inspired pattern seamlessly wraps around its sides.
Card Illustrations
The card illustrations and color palette draw heavy inspiration from mid-century illustration aesthetics. Think clean shapes, bold lines, and a touch of whimsy reminiscent of those classic vintage children's books. When it came to selecting subjects, I went with themes that fit the cards but also infused a bit of that American road trip spirit whenever possible.
