Thanks so much, I really wanted to push myself and my design skills to new levels with the back. I hope I pulled something together that the community will enjoy working with.montecarlojoe wrote:Wow - every time you come back this design just leaps ahead!
I love the new look - intricate but with a slightly hand-drawn quality to it which actually works quite nicely.
Nice one!
Thanks for your feedback. When i'm trying to get a feel for the fan, should I simulate the look of a thumb fan? Or a table spread? I've carefully considered the idea of adding accent colors, but I'd like to stick with my monochrome look with the black and silver. Do you think there's a way to add separation to the logos without shifting the color? I sort of tried to do that with the large negative area around the E's, but I guess it wasn't enough. Any suggestions here would be really appreciated. Thanks again!MagikFingerz wrote:Yep, pretty much all "fan" renders are way too spaced out.Eoghann wrote:Deck isn't exactly going to fan like that but hot damn it looks nice.
This new back looks good, but I still feel like it needs something to break the monotony. Like highlighting the logos (slightly brighter/darker than the rest) and/or some of the other elements.
Having an inversed edition works really well with this though, good call on that!
Do these fans look more accurate?
Hey thanks for commenting again! This would totally work, I agree. I would love to keep a monochrome positive and negative thing going on with the cards if I can. I really like how this kind of mimicks the original Bicycle backs. I'm not completely shutting out the idea of going back and adding accent colors once all of my other options are exhausted, but I would love to pitch a design that showcases the lines offset by the silver on the black or the silver on the white because I really think it showcases the quality of the line weight and layout better than adding multiple colors. Once I get the design to a point that it works in a monochrome setting then deciding to go back and add accent colors will only enhance things further. (If I decide that they really need them in the end.)Eoghann wrote:Agree. The dark ones need a bold white accent and the white some black to really make these look amazing.
