DECK OF CARDS
Project: Designing a well-illustrated deck of 54 playing cards. 40 of these cards are number cards, 12 are face cards, and 2 are joker cards.
My deck of cards features a temperate forest theme, with my number cards displaying concepts of nature, and my face cards depict animals found in temperate forests, such as bears, foxes, hawks, and wolverines. I first sketched some design ideas for the animals that would represent each of my face cards, as well as designs that would merge with my suits.
Then, I created different varieties of face cards with varying backgrounds of color to determine which one would be the best. I then added some typography to my number cards, wrapping vines & leaves around each of my suits to depict the concept of forest and nature. I also designed the animals’ heads that will be the image of my face cards.
Finally, my ideas for the poker card box are to incorporate forest and nature design features that depict a temperate forest.
