David Lovejoy and I are hammering out the final layout touches to Ballot Bots. Here are 4 choices taken from my desktop that probably look the same to everyone else.
Top Left - the dark blue makes all of the background colors too dark. The white ring adds more contrast, which also makes the colors dark.
Top Right - works pretty well. The brown gives the background more variety, and the dark blue line work holds everything in its proper place. The darker blue in the upper field of the background may still be too dark.
Lower Left - nice and airy. Dropping the dark blue outlines and the border framework makes the background feel more like a space (the depth is more iconically believable). Still, it doesn't hold together as well, and all the 'air' makes the card feel empty.
Lower Right - this is the cleanest presentation, but the least interesting. If all suits are represented by one color, it is very easy to tell the suits apart, but is it easier than distinct multi-color treatments? The figures maintain a lot of the card's pop, but even still, is that extra color variety more exciting?
