Add a paw print to P for dogs and cat ears to the C for the cats
Separate with two distinct colors

Final Thoughts
What I learned from this project was how to work within a structured, role-based team to create a cohesive set of deliverables for a thoughtfully developed game concept. I also gained valuable experience in designing packaging for boxes (game box and card box) and the folded board.
