Re: Tzolk'in Playing Cards now live on KS

Intentionally done, for this project a I just prefer it this way.

I will be working on some extra rewards shortly, possibly including a limited edition deck, if anyone is interested.

Re: Fuego! Day of the Dead Playing Cards - Live on KS

Will be backing these. Fun colourful and light hearted.

My only minor concern is other than some great pictures there is not much info on the creator's website for a first project, not that I think I will be scammed but it would just be nice to know a little bit about them.

Re: Military Cards!

There is a lot going on in that deck, if you want complex things in the deck try limiting your palette so its not so over whelming.

Re: ACTIVE playing cards

The idea is pretty solid but the colour palette and design style needs some work.

A style similar to the Mustache Playing Cards would work wonders with this idea.

Re: Brush Playing Cards

Colour schemes are one of the most important things about custom decks, I personally would use an "Earthy" colour palette (eg. browns, greens, dark reds etc) as I think it would fit perfectly with the style of the deck. Try some experiments, leave the desk and return in 20 mins and have an...

Re: The Lumberjacks - 2nd edition

Is it just me but I always think of red plaid when I think of lumberjacks, would be nice to see them wearing plaid on the decks... I have to agree about the color. Blue really isn't what I picture when I think lumberjack. Solid red would work but I think red and black plaid would work best. It's th...

Re: Tzolk'in Playing Cards now live on KS

Come on its not that hard to say (Zol-Kin) :D , it means Calendar or passing time. Referencing the Mayan Sun Calendar.

Wow that draw like a boss deck really drew in the funding and its quite a nice deck.

Re: Brush Playing Cards

I like them, it might just be me but the white in the background looks quite harsh, have you tried other colours or even textured backgrounds, a light cartridge paper texture might look nice and would certainly link in with the brush painted theme, even that yellowed background from your other image...

Thanks for you input.

I think I might jazz up the backs of the cards, maybe even add some colour to them.

I am also wondering about the pips, I think I might adjust them to something more "mayan"...

Re: Brush Playing Cards

Its nice but does it match the front?

If your having trouble with colours is the image in RGB format or CMYK?

Remember RGB for web :)

Re: The Vívido Playing Card Deck now live on KS

Regarding the bleed, I may put a very faint stroke around the edge of the card, not enough to ruin the full bleed effect but just enough to prevent any concerns of the cards being identified, maybe 1mm or 2.

everyone would know when you got a king because you'd have to turn it

Re: The Vívido Playing Card Deck now live on KS

I wanted more of the old traditional medieval theme for the court cards by not making them symmetrical and only including the pip in the top left corner ...also, wouldn't your thumb will be over the bottom right corner? Oh and by the way the backs of the cards have now been updated to something more...
