ABOUT
Design a system of 54Â playing cards with a twist on a traditional theme.
APPROACH
Researching traditional playing cards allowed me to start with a system in mind and then tweak that system. I began with an illustrative approach to the face cards, designed patterns that reflected sacred geometry, and chose a dramatic color scheme. The moon is set in the place of a spade and the seven-pointed star represents a story arch. Each character is from a book, The Magicians, which displays their different personalities within the design. Face cards are drawn in a single orientation, to allow images more detail.
