I'm always extremely impressed with your graphic design – in particular, how your organizational choices influence and inflect the experience of reading the text of your games. Your choice to overlay, cross out, and highlight terms in collage form... what an excellent means to convey the complexity of the subject at hand. Fantastic
I really loved this! the paper collage effect is gorgeous and old school, and you're so right that making games like thumbprints is the way to go: relishing the unique individuality of every human experience
