Memory Games offer a good technique for improving short term memory. If it is made from water-resistant materials and magnets, it is a so-called magnetic game and can be played in various places without being impacted by weather conditions.
The objective of fabrication as well as the goal of the thesis was to fabricate a magnetic Memory Game using different magnetic materials and printing techniques, which would ultimately allow for the game to be used in different weather conditions, to be resistant to water and wind and which could also be played on uneven surfaces.
Game was created in Adobe Illustrator and it consists of fairy motifs on different backgrounds. The cards feature fairy motifs or symbols such as; wonder, purpose, energy, kindness, confidence and understanding. Up to twelve cards can be placed on the board, even in places where there is no flat surface. Two methods of fabrication were used to make the magnetic Memory Game. First methods, magnetic foil was used and second magnetic ink was printed on a hard extruded PVC board using the screen-printing technique. For printing graphic images on the cards and board, a injekt printing technique was chosen which uses UV inks. The template for the magnetic Memory Each of the two printing processes have their benefits. The results showed a higher print quality when inkjet printing with UV inks directly on magnetic foil. The application of magnetic ink using screen-printing technique resulted in a rough surface due to the tiny metal particles in the magnetic ink.
Mentioned rough surface after long term of using it consequently influence on bad mechanical persistence of cards.
