Hi, everyone! So I recently had a kickstarter for my deck of cards. It wasn't doing so well so I cancelled the project and went back to the drawing board, literally. I reworked the tuck and back design completely and I'll be relaunching this project sometime soon. But I'd like input first. I learned A LOT from having this kickstarter fail. I would've never ended up changing the designs if I didn't get any input from my backers. Now I'm much much much more satisfied with my design and I can honestly say that my original tuck design and back design were extremely bad haha.

Here's a comparison of the original tuck design and the new tuck design:

Original: New: The original had absolutely nothing to do with my theme, which is 'faceless.' Inferus in Latin translates to Faceless.

I've also completely changed the back design.

Here's a comparison of the original back design and the new back design:

Original: New: Please let me know what you all think! I think the designs are turning out a whole lot better. I've gained a lot more knowledge in the art of graphic design since I've reworked my originals so I believe I have a much better understanding of it now. I'd love to hear everyone's opinions. Thanks!

Also, as I said earlier, the theme of the deck is 'faceless.' Therefore, all of the court cards are faceless, I'll post a few of the courts below:

Very good design Travis. It will be very good to publish it in different colors.

I like it - but it is awfully grey - have you tried it with different colour palettes?

Hey, guys! Thanks for you replies. I apologize for not responding in a while.
I have not tried any different color palettes, actually. I'm wanting most / possibly all the red you see on the tuck box to be red foil, which will really pop on that grey.
So I've finished up all the new number cards. The old number cards seemed a bit random. The pips just looked a bit randomly placed, so I've created a more uniform pip layout.
You'll see a sample of the number cards below: Let me know what you guys think of those!

Also, I've been working on the design for the joker.
You will see the design I've come up with for the joker below: The 'faceless' theme continues onto the joker as he has no face, so he is deciding which mask/personality he is going to put on.
Please let me know what you all think of these designs, thanks!

Regards,
Travis

Hey, guys! So I've designed the second joker for the deck, which has a Seven of Spades reveal. This masks have dissipated from his hands, symbolizing that he is no longer restrained by the weight of the decision he once had to make. Reveal in hands of the Seven of Spades.
Let me know what you all think!
Also, I've made some new pips for the indices of the cards. I've went with a bit more of a stand look for easier identifying.

Here's all the twos.

Travis, very good work.

Hey guys! So I've been hard at work on this relaunch and I've come up with a date! We'll be relaunching on Wednesday, June 24th! Let everybody know, and be sure to support us as much as possible when it's up! I'll be posting back when it's live.

Also, here's a preview link to the new Kickstarter page! Let me know what you all think.
