Just wanted to share with you one of the projects that I'm currently working on. It's a new deck concept that I'm working with Srdjan on and we're still in the very early stages of design. He's done some amazing work already with a very detailed court illustration style and I'm excited to see the rest of the process unfold.
From Srdjan:
"My idea is to create a deck that will show that every story have two sides and you don't have a complete story if you don't know both sides. Working title of the deck is "Stories". I want each of the court cards to have an illustration of a whole figure instead of just half of the body. Each of them would have two different sides. So when you flip the card you see slightly different version of the image above. For example in the King of Spades we see happy king on one side, and that same king, but this time sad, on the other side. Above the illustration there will be a saying that goes along the image. Sayings need to be organized in a way that it doesn't matter which one you read first. It needs to always makes sense. I already have few of them in my mind, for example: 'don't forget where you came from / know where you are heading' ; 'humble in victory / gracious in defeat' ; 'after sun comes the rain / after rain comes the sun' etc. And because of this sayings and illustrations that goes along with them, deck is called "Stories" ( or something similar ), you have the feeling like you read a little story with each court card. Also, I want court cards to be very detailed, and to have unique placement of the card suit and letter K, Q and J ( like you can see in the attached photo ). "
) Thanks for reminding me to put some gold aside,for the time her project hits kickstarter.[/off-topic]
