I chose Phyrexian Hulk because it is one of the few cards that had a more futuristic/sci-fi look to it. For my card I want to give it that same theme.

I chose Faith's Reward because I want to make a card that can revive cards from the graveyard.

My new card will be called "Rebuild." When a player uses this card, they can revive one creature from the graveyard to the battlefield as well as giving it +1 attack and toughness for 2 turns. The artwork will show a picture of a mechanical arm/leg being built. It will cost 5 mana to summon and will be an uncommon card for Magic 2014. The element is Yellow (or some other color) which is an element I made up that stands for machine. (Working Process)

For my portfolio, I am going to make an InDesign file. Each page will have one of my best works from this semester with a label of which project it is from.

I plan to use this portfolio for my future career as a graphic design artist/animator.

The Election

Back-story:

            Harry Frances was an unassuming accountant from New Jersey. He lived a safe, predictable and quiet life until one Tuesday morning that changed his life forever. As Harry waited for his usual breakfast, in his usual booth in his usual diner, he fiddled with his new cell phone. When Harry got to his office later that day he discovered that he accidently recorded a conversation between the two men who had sat in the next booth from him at the diner. Harry was shocked to hear that he had recorded the two men's plans to take over White House. Harry very frightened with this information and not sure what to do finally decided to take this information to the CIA.

            It was learned Harry had stumbled on information from a very powerful terrorist group. This group was grooming a very charismatic and powerful senator named Jack Canfield to be the next President of the United States. Jack Canfield was very well liked and the media was already declaring him the winner of the upcoming election. Jack Canfield was however a puppet of the terrorist group and the recording revealed that with Jack Canfield as President the group would take the United States down.  The CIA knew this could not happen. They come up with a plan.  

            A month after passing this information onto the authorities Harry Frances got an unexpected visit from the Director of the CIA. Harry Frances was told it was his patriotic duty to be the opposing candidate in the next election. The media and the American public thought this to be ridiculous and so did Harry Frances. But he knew he had no choice but to run.

Gameplay Mechanics:

            The game The Election is a game where you must guide Harry Frances through the White House collecting ways for Harry to win the election to score points (such as: lower taxes, better healthcare plan, etc.) while trying to get him to the center of the maze, which is the oval office. If you collect up to 100 points and reach the office within the time limit, you get to advance to the next level. However, if you collect something that can cause problems to his campaign (like losing a debate, scandal, misspeak to the press) then you will loose points. Also if Harry runs into Jack Canfield or one of the terrorists, then he will have to start back at the start of the level. There are doors that can lead to shortcuts through each maze. This is a gamble however, because these doors can also lead you into some terrorists or Jack which will both deduct points and lead Harry back to the beginning. Along the walls of the maze or "White House" will be portraits of past Presidents. Each portrait has an unusual and helpful tool. Once the player reaches a portrait he can keep the tool that can help him in his mission. For instance President Washington will have an axe that will help Harry Frances if and when he comes across an obstacle such as piece of furniture in his way. This can also create a shortcut to the Oval Office. Once at the Oval Office Harry Frances will be the President of the United States and will have saved the country.
