High Hand
Hello good people of PCF,
I have been thinking about a custom set design for quite some time now, and I feel like I came up with an idea that will satisfy my high demands. The goal was to create a "fictional" casino with a nod to either a movie or a real-life building, which ideally hasn't been done before and makes for an interesting story.
So here it goes - meet the Grand Budapest Hotel & Casino!
Obviously a nod to the beautiful Wes Anderson movie, I tried to emulate some of the key rooms / locations inside the hotel into the chip colors. Without already boring you at the beginning, meet the chips (Inlay only as placeholder for now)
The 0,05€ chip is inspired by the outside view of the Grand Budapest Hotel. Unfortunately I couldn't find a better pink colour, I guess those problems would go away if I would do a Ceramic Chip right? I chose the B-mold, because it nicely fits the Budapest.
The 0,25€ chip is inspired by the hilarious bathtub scene in the Grand Budapest Spa. Different blue shades dominate this room.
The 1€ chip is inspired by the great hall past renovation / modernization. Lots of white marble, red carpet and greyish accents. I was also contemplating making the second spot pink.
The 5€ chip is inspired by the original entry hall / reception. Very yellow and brown dominant.
The 25€ I really wanted to caption the famous elevator shots, I feel the colors in the movie play just beautifully with each other. Unfortunately the right shade of red is not available on CPC.
So in my mind an investor has bought the Grand Budapest and decided to turn it into a Resort & Casino kinda situation. So with the layout and edge spots of the Chips I wanted to go for a more modern look while honoring the Hotel's rich past.
I still need help in designing the labels, I have some ideas but am lacking the skills to realize them. Are there people on here that can help? I am happy to pay you for your services
But first of all, I am excited to hear what you think. Open to feedback and design changes!
