Tachyon Miniature Chess and Checkers Game Board

The Tachyon Miniature Chess and Checkers Game Board is a realized 3d model of a fictional product developed by the same fictional company, Tachyon. Tachyon stands for a hypothetical particle that can travel faster than light, and aligns with the job of the product of being easily compact and portable. This chess and checkerboard allows for easy use on the go when travelling to a variety of locations and is targeted at both hardcore tabletop fans of the genre and beginners looking for a simple way to play some of their favourite games wherever and whenever they want. The 3d model is accompanied by a business plan detailing the inner workings and details of the company, including estimated start-up costs, branding, target consumers, location, marketing choices, and much more. The business plan’s design reflects the design of the board's colour scheme, and mimics the concise and futuristic feel through the use of typography, layout, and structure.
