we strove to better explain a portion of the long history of the modern dice.

HISTORY OF DICE
Wired
Wired is a monthly American magazine, published in print and online editions, that focuses on how emerging technologies affect culture, the economy, and politics. To better inform our viewers by giving them video-based content to help explain today’s complex topics. To create clear, engaging, and visually stunning assets that support online articles. These are not just little videos, these are high-quality, beautiful visual stories.
Utilizing a collage style this direction shows that the history of dice is a long and difficult story to tell from just one or two archaeological dig sites. By piecing together not only the story but also the visual elements of objects and people from all around the globe the story of a worldwide tool and toy is told.
