Just wanted to get some opinions on the redesign of my deck ‘The Ritual’. After the initial Kickstarter project fell over for obvious reasons, I want to make sure the design is as good as it can be.
I think the biggest issue was pricing. It was way off! But as I’m in the UK, delivery, import tax and value added tax was mounting up the production cost, leaving me with not a lot of room to play with. BUT, with card projects become more popular on Kickstarter, distribution companies based in the US are a great way round this for creators like me. This should make a single deck delivered to the US around the $12 mark.
I’ve taken on board a lot of the comments I received and have changed a fair amount without loosing too much of the original look and feel. (I hope)
The biggest think is the colour change, I think the texture paper works better than the black and white, do you agree?
The backs have changed to give more room to the star and to tone down the ravens
All of the Aces will be enlarged with a design placed within.
The court cards have been simplified, I’m sure another deck has done something similar to this but I can’t track anything down. But with the star in the background I’m hoping that it gives it its own feel.
The pips are the same and in the standard formation, I still think this is the best way to go so the card is easily recognisable, do you agree?
Does the top right and bottom left need a faded ‘something’?
I appreciate all your feedback and honest opinions
Many thanks
Kirk
