The Interlace deck - COMING TO KS JUNE 16th!

Unread post by sastian »

Hello UC!
My name is Christian Sass and I've been working feverishly on a deck for almost 2 months now. Since I've spent the past week editing a pitch video for KS, I figure its about time to officially announce that I'm rounding the last corner of this race before launching. I'm sure some of you have seen my thread on the Discourse:
http://www.playingcardforum.com/design- ... terlaced'/

Just in case you haven't, here's your first look at Interlace.
INTERLACE-Card-Box-Mock-up-RED.jpg
A new Bicycle branded deck that will be hitting Kickstarter in the next couple weeks. I will post more in this thread as we get closer to completion but I would love to hear your feedback and field any questions leading up to the launch.

I like it - the KoH is clever - the head going through the sword is a nice variation on a theme :)

Wow that back is pretty wicked! I've always had a fascination for Celtic knots.

I hope those courts are going to be bigger. That's a lot of negative space...

Interesting concept though, I particularly like the lines going over the edge of the card. Should make for a nice fan.

Nice, and something different! I'm so tired of seeing things recolored & reissued. Refreshing...

Saw this on Kickstarter today and thought maybe it was your deck. Then I looked at the details and thought 'what happened to those nice designs, that doesn't look right'. Now it all makes sense, just bad timing of another celtic style deck. Looks like you'll have competition when yours goes up. ;)

Im still trying to decide how to handle the pips myself.. been soaking up a lot of the feedback that every other deck has gotten in the past and realize how critical it is. I should just post a bunch of snapshots of options. i know i posted some in the other forum but im sure that was some early stuff.

Maybe a little too intricate for mass production??
But the final decal will look close to this.. I'll keep tweaking it till i can cut 50 without losing my mind de-weeding the vinyl

I really like this! Definitely unique. I agree with MagikFingerz, though. Might want to consider enlarging the court so it takes up more space on the card. :)

You're looking at a much older screenshot that some pulled from earlier in my other development thread... The courts have been expanded to fill the content area on the cards

sometimes i forget which forum i've posted the most recent versions to, so here are some updates for you fine people over here ;)

my main concern at the moment ( and i'm planning on leaving it to the kickstarter backers to decide) is what to do with the pips and indices.

They still seem to be too narrow. You do realize that the standard courts you have there are bridge sized, right? Bridge size is something like half an inch narrower than poker size.

No i did NOT realize that! Awesome! Thanks! I wish there were a class.. although this experience has taught me a TON. I guess I'm much more artist than card handler. but with people like you I'm getting there. do you think its advantageous to use the full poker width for the courts.. (which by the way might limit my space for indices even more) at least im only at the roughing stage and it isnt a huge deal to change yet.

The courts really do need that extra line to make them more 3D the King of diamonds and queen of clubs look flat without it.The king of hearts however Pops out .Also the decal looks cool ,but can only see Clubs,Spades and Hearts Where`s the Diamond.

Jock: that's just how i layout the path that the lines take... they will all get the 3d treatment in the end. it's just my method of determining the balance and composition before laying in the details

Hi Sastian ,i think the meaning behind my post didn`t come across as it should have.it`s obvious the last two pics are rough early drafts and the KoS is near finished article. As i`ve said in earlier posts i like this deck (I`ve got my name on your mailing list) and i`m glad you went with the 3D effect to make the cards pop out. Sorry for any confusion. -Jase-

Yeah, I think it'd be better if the courts took up more width so there isn't so much negative space. You might not need that much space for the indices.

Back is done to a point... i have a few little issues i'm considering tackling but for all intensive purposes this one could go to press. If your curious what im fretting over check out my other thread http://www.playingcardforum.com/design- ... '/new/#new" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

tomorrow ill attack my face cards and widening the area they occupy as opposed to what MagikFingerz & Sher143 pointed out was a bridge sized court.

So i went back deep into my work to find out where i got this "bridge sized" court... once i scanned a standard poker sized court and placed it under my art i recalled my process that i started with a standard deck... i found the file where i compared all of the standard decks and decided to elongate them to be taller because of all the post that i had read where people like larger court face sizes.. no no these are not based on a bridge face.. but are just customized to use more space on top and bottom because i wanted to leave the same size for the standard pips and indices...

Should I point out the obvious...

The template does say, "Poker Die," and not, "Bridge Die."

So I think it is fairly safe to say this is the right die for "Poker" size cards...

i think because I lengthened them in height they have more at a bridge proportion and that's what was being mistaken as a bridge size
