My Very Own Deck of Cards!
So in illustration class this semester the long running project is designing a deck of cards that we will actually be able to print and use. For my deck of cards I've chosen to use European mythologies, Roman, Celtic, Slavic, and Norse, and interpret the gods in my own way. I've replaced the original suit symbols with others a little more pertinent to each mythology. I like how they've come out although I'm sure they could always be better, but due to time constraints they'll have to do. So what does everyone think? Would anyone be interested in purchasing these? For cost of paper and printing and in order to make a little profit the charge may be $20-$25 for each deck. But they will be hand made by yours truly and they're one of a kind! Tell me what you think!
These look really awesome, Olivia!! I'm totally jealous. Something is telling me maybe I should do what you're doing and leave the numbers as numbers if I run out of time. I really like them! I love how every suit is a different color too :D
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Yeah, I knew that if I got too ambitious and tried to make every card different, that I would never get it done, so you can really just call it me being lazy. Haha!
ReplyDeleteI really would like to make each card different, but if it comes to it, that's probably what I'll do. If we had all the time in the world (and if I had managed that time better) I would love to do that. But at least by the time we get out of here, we'll know the process and can make more cards on our own time. :]
ReplyDeleteJust realized something you might want to fix. There is no 1 in card decks. The ace serves as the one. So your numbered cards will go from 2-10.
