Generate board game cards from data

I have created a preliminary prototype of a board game card generator in OmniGraffle:

An early example is here.

Features:

  • merge data property values with graphic’s text
  • style graphics based on a data property from visual style prototype
  • export individual cards as individual files

Few features I am planning to add:

  • include an image from a library of images in another sheet
  • “enumeration” style: based on value pick an object from a list of objetcs, for example stars based on a numeric value from 1 to 5.

Wished feature:

  • simple CSV reader (not everyone has the ability or access to conversion of CSV to JSON)

It is just a rough sketch of the Card Maker idea, not perfect, neither clean. Improvements and fixes are welcome.

EDIT: Added screenshots.
