YCN BRIEF: BEAR

The Brief
To create our next set of yoyo cards, whisking kids off on a magical adventure with BEAR.
The Creative Challenge
We would like you to create the next world of BEAR’s yoyo cards - it’s up to you to pick the theme! We would like to see at least three card designs, both back and front of the cards. 
To get your brains whirring, previous card sets have included: ‘Around the world in 80 days’ with BEAR, with each of the individually illustrated cards being a miniature postcard sent from one of BEAR’s stops on his travels. Each taught children about amazing places and cultures around the world that they might never have heard of.
Our ‘Super Species School’ saw Head BEAR assemble the world’s most incredible species as students in his school- each had a super power that related to what made that creature incredible in real life, children could take a test online to see what ‘super squad’ (house) they would be in, and there was a specially designed yearbook that children could collect ‘bearcodes’ (barcodes) towards and be sent for free.
This year BEAR has gone off in his Time Cave back through history, with 80 stops in the grizzly past, and 20 in the furrific future showing some of the wildest inventions that scientists believe will roll out in the coming centuries.

Out of the three YCN briefs that I've selected, this definetly seems the most challenging, I would consider collaborating with a graphic design student on this as I think I would struggle to lay out my designs of the cards alongside my illustrations and ideas without over complicating the design! Despite my worry of this, it's still an exciting concept, the idea of my work being used in a context such as this one.
