Re: Diamond Playing Cards (Coming Soon)
I love the backs! The AoS is a little lack luster but overall not bad. I know many here don't like standardish courts but they don't bother me here.

Re: Diamond Playing Cards (Coming Soon)
I kind of like the "less is more" approach to the colors here. Might be a bit tricky getting the yellow and grey/silver to pop, but I'm curious about the final results.
(The indices are quite close to the edges, but if the printer (EPCC/LPCC I'm guessing?) can pull it off, hats off to them.

Yes, I might be the guy you remember from that thing at that place way back when.

Re: Diamond Playing Cards (Coming Soon)
Marcus - Yes, we want the indices closer to the edge. Looks like he knows where no mans land begins. I like the way he put a ghost border in the Aces. It makes the Aces look like a court card...

Re: Diamond Playing Cards (Coming Soon)
Not interested in the customizing space on the tuck. Bigger indicies are great. Ideal version has red diamonds and hearts. Red version!

I might just scrap the whole write your name idea...
Maybe a signature foil printed in that space?

I agree some red on the diamonds and hearts would do well, maybe just a red outline on the pips and indices?

Re: Diamond Playing Cards (Live on Kickstarter!)
$18 CAD for an early bird. Is it me or are decks getting more expensive? Yeah I know shipping is free, thank goodness, but it almost feels like we are paying for it anyway at that price.

Prices for everything have gone up since Kickstarter split the shipping.

Re: Diamond Playing Cards (Live on Kickstarter!)
Even so, it seems like in the last two weeks or so, the price for KS decks has gone up a couple bucks each.

Re: Diamond Playing Cards (Coming Soon)
Have to agree with MagikFingerz. What if the Black line in the outer border on the Hearts and Diamonds was red? What would it look like? You are in different territory. Usually, the club and space are Black. Make a prototype with her name and propose. It's best to keep it simple with your signature on the tuck box. So, did she say yes...MagikFingerz wrote:That's awesome! Good luck, buddyalvinhy wrote:PS. side story, I am launching on 7th july because i will be proposing that night

Re: Diamond Playing Cards (Live on Kickstarter!)
alvinhy - You made me think. Usually, a deck has Red or Black in it. You have neither. The red is gold and the black is kind of grey. I look forward in seeing the red outline on the gold. I wonder if really make a difference.
Glad she said yes. So where does she fit in the scale? Is her name Tiffany?

I'll soon have the mockups. Maybe a deck must have red in it to be popular?

Re: Diamond Playing Cards (Live on Kickstarter!)
Im looking to cancel the project and improve the design. I think I rushed this design since I wanted it to be out for the proposal but i guess that was a silly decision.TGunitedcardists wrote:Red! Red! Red!alvinhy wrote:I'll soon have the mockups. Maybe a deck must have red in it to be popular?

I'll probably add more colour (Red!) in to the design and change the tuck as well (get rid of the signature) and maybe have a dark colour box instead of a white box.
Any thoughts about this?

You are the artistic governor, you should do what you feel would be best.
I think we all want the cards to be as good as possible.

Yes thats true, and also I need to work on the pricing, i need to make it cheaperchunksmyhero wrote:You are the artistic governor, you should do what you feel would be best.

So I think cancelling is the best option for this project.

Re: Diamond Playing Cards (Live on Kickstarter!)
I love the fact that you are trying to make the design stronger (and I agree with the suggestions and the direction you are considering). Whether you cancel and re-launch, or try to make these changes as the KS project continues to unfold, either way is fine with me. I'm on board.

Re: Diamond Playing Cards (Live on Kickstarter!)
Thanks for the support! I will need to cancel and re-launch in order to amend the prices So probably cancel it today and develop the deck even more.rousselle wrote:I love the fact that you are trying to make the design stronger (and I agree with the suggestions and the direction you are considering).

Re: Diamond Playing Cards (Live on Kickstarter!)
yup, wait until you got everything perfect! Also, I wouldn't mind if you just copy and pasted all of the rewards from the viridian campaign. It seemed pretty straight forward for a one color option deck
Here's my collection of sealed decks only. PM me if interested.

Re: Diamond Playing Cards
Hey guys!
After going through the feedback of people I have amended the designs slightly. Please let me know your thoughts!
Maybe have red hearts in the black version too?

Re: Diamond Playing Cards
Agree with Vasta! Red pips on the black cards would look sweet!
A deck a day helps keep the addiction at bay!
