Linking the Cards to Leben

The cards created especially for Leben are called 'The (colour) Elixir of Life' (eg The Red Elixir of Life). All the cards will have the same imagery on them, the point of difference being the colour and affect of the card. 

I decided a potion would be an ideal way of extending your life or immortality. Its also an 'easy' way of achieving this (just like it is easy to simply play this Elixir of Life card). 

I started designing potion bottles for my imagery. I want the design to be elegant and communicate the purity of 'new life'. 

I drew a lot of influence from existing perfume bottles because I think they are well designed. The female perfume bottles in particular are very chic and classy so I tried to replicate this but also keep it looking like a potion bottle. 

While I was designing these potion bottles I had my character for reference in front of me. I noticed that her staff has a nice shape to it and is elegant but powerful. I designed potion bottles with the staff as a strong influence. I also like how it links Leben back into the cards as well. The cards don't feel like a separate part of the Leben set to another game anymore.

I still need to decide on what bottle design I will have for my final. I will talk to my tutors about this idea and get their feedback.
