Overview
The origin of Adventures of the Elements is in science education and is depicted in the three novels by the Author and Creator Richard James III. Through Richards’ desire to educate and his creative genius he has grown the foundation of Adventures of the Elements into an entertaining scientific trading card game and possible animated series. His passion has created a product that has attracted national recognition, interest from the world’s largest corporate sponsors and a partnership with the Boy Scouts of America.
The Project
Turning Minds Media was invited to work with eSullivan Advertising, the advertising agency responsible for creating Adventures of the Elements brand, collateral pieces and advertising elements. Our technical capabilities in web services in conjunction with animation and illustration experience set us as the preferred choice for the agency and the creator. Turning Minds Media reviewed the creator/authors notes, descriptions and books on over 35 original characters to accurately create the never before seen characters in the form of full color illustrations. Our illustrations were later used to create the cards and box design and many other collateral pieces. Throughout the project, we also created an entertaining and informative eCommerce and content managed website to promote and sell the Adventures of the Elements products. The website also allows community interest and membership signup for students and educators, full index of the cards, characters, and student/educator information.
