Concept:
All great design begins with one thing: a great idea. This idea is the root of every well produced, beautiful,
or savvy execution. Whether it’s the representation of a brand by understanding the audience, the consideration
of a books content when creating a cover design, or the basis of apolitical campaign that goes on to influence
millions. As designers we have the ability to influence a world that is more aware of and impacted by design than
it realizes.
Objective:
Communicate the premise of graphic design and make it accessible to everyone, especially non-creatives, and
create aproduct that helps us form a community, collaborate, and invent, exactly what I believe design intends to do.
Solution:
Create the game of graphic design. A game that allows everyone, not just designers or creatives, but your younger
brother, your grandma who can’t click a computer mouse or your best friend who’s an economics major, to better
understand and engage in the creative process.

The Pitch 
how can I get hold of one of these?!?! so good!
Thanks so much! I did this as my thesis, and it’s currently a one off piece, but if interest builds up for it, I could definitely look into making a few more.
I would buy it in a heartbeat. Please seriously consider making more!
Hi! Is there any chance for me to take a look at your final thesis? I’ve got pretty interested on it. During my certificate program I wrote some papers about using cardgames/boardgames to teach creative process to advertising students (I teach creative process at a private college). I have also been working on a (non-profit) project to create a cardgame for the same target (advertising students), aiming the improvement of creative thinking within advertising creation.
Thanks fo the attention – i’ll be looking forward to hear from you 🙂
I would totally buy this! I LOVE the idea and the execution is fantastic! great job!!!
I would buy one without a question, please consider production!
Take my money; make this real. I will buy this.
I think this idea is awesome! It looks fabulous too! I’ve posted about you and your kickstarter fundraiser in my design blog, and from one graphic designer to another, I am hoping it might help get your idea out the more too! Good luck!
Wooo!! I loved it!!! I would buy it too in a heartbeat!! 🙂 If you make more, please please tell us, you got some sure buyers here.
I love this!!! Please consider making more!!!!! I would buy 3!!!!

Brilliant idea for a present – It’s not difficult to imagine how many folks in the design world would love to give this to a colleague.
Upload to http://www.kickstarter.com/ contact a few design blogs and groups to market for you, and there you go.
Sent in the proposal, hope they accept it! 🙂
I’m so glad you did, I am a designer from Sydney and your game is turning up everywhere on bloggs. I’m a backer too! Good luck Fatimah.
I would also absolutely love to have one of these… not only would it be fun, but perfect for helping clients understand the process too!

Please add me to the waiting list once you decide to go full production with your idea…sure big companies are queuing at your door for it by now 🙂
Absolutely beautiful execution of a very interesting idea.
Please start a Kickstarter project with your game! I want it!

Great stuff Fatimah!! Don’t drop this will you? Take it all the way if you can!
All the best
Not only put me on the waiting list, but I’d like to commission you to make me a board game style similar to your concept. Pls contact me for details.
Thanks!
Wonderful idea Fatimah,
Non Designers types fail to understand the creative process involved in designing. They have this idea that designers have a “bag of logos” and ready made branding solutions at hand.
Hopefully this game will get business to “pitch in” and participate in the emotional elements of brand design.
Let me know how it works out. @bid_banners
This is awesome! Let me know when I can take one off your hands!
Love it! The idea is genius but the exquisite attention to detail is amazing!
Add me to the chorus calling for you to produce versions for sale. Hell if it’s half as good as it seems we’d finance it.

I wonder if it’s fun to play?
It’s a good time
I LOVE “The Pitch”.. I’m a young professional that works in a struggling creative environment of the older generation, and have plenty of creative thought processes that I explore in my free time. This is an excellent concept for bringing people together and challenging themselves to open their imaginations and potentially act.
I really encourage you to recreate and distribute. I’d be VERY interested.
Thanks very much! I’m glad the premise is resonating with so many people

You should put this on kickstarter. I would back it in a heartbeat.
Very interesting concept and such amazing attention to detail. It is indeed a beautiful game. It would have been nice to have a little more info on how the actual game plays out. Add me to the list of interested people, I love good board games.
LOVE IT! Please let us know when you’re going to start selling it 🙂
Wonderful idea and beautifully crafted! Would love to see a close-up of the rules.
I’d also be interested in purchasing one if you ever make them! Perhaps you should do a kickstarter project?
Love the game, would love to buy a copy
Another name in the bucket for someone who would absolutely buy a copy of this fantastic-looking game!
Great idea! I’d love to buy a copy of this as well.
Can you make a copy of the game one of the rewards on Kickstarter? Maybe at the $40 level? I think people would be much more likely to pledge if it meant getting a copy of the game for free, were the project funded. That feels much nicer to me than pledging, only to have to pay again once the game is made.
I’ve made some changes, hope it works better for you. Thank you!
That was the first thing that jumped out at me on Kickstarter as well. Thanks for mentioning it Ethan. Fatima, thanks for updating the $90 pledge level. PS. The description mentions $85, you may want to change that to 90.
Thanks Leif!
Great idea and execution, I like the fact it’s a great way to endorse the impact and importance of design, something that I rate highly.
This is Gold, I want to play this game!! Count em in as well whenever this goes to production!!!

i want this! It looks amazing! Best wishes.
What a brilliantly original game, I can’t wait to buy one upon release. I’ve just backed in on kick-starter too! Good luck.
Thanks Tom!
I’ll take two, two dozen. Please send ordering instructions.
Hey Chris-
The best way to ensure that the game goes into production is by pledging at the kickstarter page:
Currently there is only one copy in existence.
this is genius! Have you tried submitting this to blogs like NotCot.org and TheCoolHungter.com to raise awareness and support?
Thanks! It was notcot.org the other day. I haven’t heard of thecoolhungter.com, the link doesn’t seem to work.
Wow, thesis win. What an amazing project! Congrats to you.
Good lord! I want one please : ) – going to kickstarter now!
Make the kickstarter URL @ the top of this page a real link!!!
Also, you have a minimum $5 pledge but your first reward on the project is a $2 or more. Drop the minimum pledge and I’ll contribute.
It’s been fixed
This is awesome. You should definitely consider getting this produced to sell.

[…] The Pitch is the brainchild of SVA grad Fatimah Kabba who, after jawing about the meaning of design with an ad-industry friend late one night (ah, college), decided to whip up a game that could, as she tells it, “rebrand the preconceptions about graphic design.” Graphic designers don’t get enough respect for the work they do, she says. “You tell people you’re going to school to study graphic design and their first assumption is you’re an ‘artist’ painting and drawing all day,” she texplains that The Pitch thusly centers on the professional aspects of graphic design. The objective: to be the top creative in your field. And to do that, you have to — in the game, as in life — come up with great pitches and win lots of awards that make other people terribly jealous.///READ MORE […]
I’d love to have one of these!
It is awesome!!!
I want to buy one. Where it is possible to buy one of these nifty things?
Please Reply:)
Just stumbled onto this, and went over to kickstarter…. but the deadline’s passed!! Drat – would certainly have pledged… are you still hoping to go into production?
Still hoping to! Things have been stalled for a bit with work.

Hey! I really like this idea, it’s the ideal christmas present for my artistic and ‘desinging’ brother. Is the game already for sale?
Thanks a lot in advance!
The game look awesome and a great idea, please let me know if it every becomes available.
Hi.
Back when this project was active, I was a pledger. I really love the concept of this game and think it would be an awesome tool to use with design students. Is there anyone I can purchase one of the games? I seriously would love to use this game with my students and interns.
Please let me know if this is possible and how much.
Thanks,
Mandy
Hey Mandy- Just sent you an email at the address listed.

Brilliant Fatimah!!
I from Brazil and have a brother-in-law designer and this would be a great present to him and the family of course.
So, where I can find to buy???
Great job, tranks!
This is a great idea! Would work wonderfully in agencies as a team builder! (I would buy this in a second for the agency i work in!)
A the our design agency http://www.fdpgroup.co.uk, we have built the business up on the back of repeat business from longstanding customers. We’ve found pitching breeds disloyal business in the past. However we’ve recently begun ‘dipping our toe in the water’ when it comes to pitching and found it quite fruitful.
Not that we’d neglect our customer base for ‘maybe we will’ work, I thing picking ones fight is the key.
Love the concept of this game and like many bloggers here, i’d buy it for my team in a heart beat!
Sorry about Kickstarted but another way to “spread” your game It’s maybe doing it digital, I mean, we buy a PDF with rules and printable things to play easily anywere with everyday’s life objects. I think it could be a better idea than produce an expensive game with plastic models and that stuff. It’s just an idea.
Congrats again!
I want to buy this, i´m from mexico and believe it,this would open minds in so much levels aboutn graphic design and creative process :D!!!! please, tell me when you gonna sell this!!!
Nice!
This is such and amazing idea, and would make a great teaching tool or even a fun way to brainstorm for different projects. Love it!
Love it and I’m not a designer but play one at home. Can’t wait to buy it!
Love it! I’d buy it in a heartbeat!
Looks amazing, would definitely buy it!
This is a fantastic. The the overall design and production of the game is unlike any other. As a board game fanatic with an interest in creative this is gold. When could I look forward to buying one of these?
Backed this in kick way back when. It’s always the one project that got away. Would love to see you cast the die again, but then maybe it was meant to be bittersweet.
Nooo, it will the realized! I promise. Just takes a bit of time.
Fatimah I was wondering if you were selling copies of the game. It looks great and I would really enjoy playing it and learning with my friends english graphic design technicality here in Argentina!
Coming soon, still working on funding! Thanks for the support 🙂
So this is like a board game for graphic designers? wow clever idea! if real estate has monopoly, then graphic design has the pitch! Very interesting…
Are you still working on the production of this?! I want it SUPER bad!!! 😉
You can make a pitch at http://www.cartamundi.be/en
Very interesting your game. is ready to be purchased? as is the process?
Lets make this happen, I want one!
Fatimah, hi! Read about this awesome game in some kind of russian online magazine, and loved it immediately – the idea and design are so great!
I wonder is it still in process of production? Or maybe it is possible to buy somewhere? Or just order for 2 versions?
Thank you in advance!)
I want one as well. Тоже хочу такую!
Hi! I am from Russia. And I fell in love with your invention. Tell me please, how can I get it?
