Hi, I’m Niclas Grieser! My design focus is illustration. I draw, paint and design 24/7. You rarely find me empty-handed; brushes and pencils are usually my constant companions. I am very happy to be able to take part in the course this year. Have fun with our projects!

A board game with an innovative instruction concept

I illustrate a game concept by Oliver Ricker. I'm experimenting with how the rule explanations can be made more intuitive.

My design master’s project is an expedition into the fascinating world of board games. I examine explanations of rules and try to redefine them: How can it be easier to get started in the game? How do we ensure that no one has to read and explain endless game rules anymore? Can a game explain itself? I am applying the knowledge I have learned through scientific research and prototypes to the design of a new board game, designed in collaboration with my colleague Oliver Ricker. I’m excited to bring his ideas to life through my illustrations.
