Cerro Gordo Silver Mines

Branding, layout, and prepress for Cerro Gordo Silver Mines, a city-building, tile-laying board game telling the true story of the historic Cerro Gordo ghost town, created for Ghost Town Living, the popular YouTube channel with a 2-million-strong following. With a big, engaged audience watching, the look mattered, and the design went through multiple rounds of iteration, refining the identity and layout until the whole team was genuinely happy with it. That collaborative back-and-forth paid off: the game funded on Kickstarter in under 24 hours and earned a "Projects We Love" badge.

The project also included designing a Deluxe Limited Edition, a premium take with foil lettering and a pared-back, more refined design treatment. Running branding through prepress across both the standard and deluxe versions meant keeping one cohesive visual world while giving the premium edition its own elevated, collectable feel.
