I have a dream that one day people will stop making this minimalistic crap. Here's a news flash: It's always crap! It does not work in playing cards! Stop!

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.

The most difficult thing in playing card design is to make a good minimalistic deck. A deck that won't make people think: "where are the courts?" or "what happened to the pips?" or "lazy boy"...
This isn't the most terrible minimalist deck I've ever seen, the stylized courts and spot cards are OK. The problem is he's apparently catering to cardists, and that back design is totally not right for cardistry. He shows a fan that he admits is bad, but it isn't bad because of his lack of skill, its bad because there's nothing in the design elements that would lend itself to producing any type of interesting fans or spreads. At least with USPCC printing and the spare black and white ink saturation, the handling should be good, but that alone probably won't be enough.

what do you think ?
@VandeR, Are you associated with the campaign?
Your two posts are on this thread, in the first you appear third-person from the campaign, but your response to sinjin7's comments indicates the project could be yours?
I agree with the masses that this deck does not look "gr8".
In fact, it looks very bad, intentionally. What is the point of removing pips in select locations on select cards..? If you're going to create a "minimalist" deck then charge me a minimalist price. These are worth < half of what you're asking for (if that).

Well, it is to be printed by USPCC. However, as a card collector and player, I go for artistic cads and not cardistry and minimalist decks. Thanks, but not my cup of tea. Good luck with the campaign.
