one joker

@vovkalex - Your aces are fine. Everyone likes big godly Aces. Bigger the better. Jokers look good. What if the background went from grey medium lines to dark grey fine lines all the way to the center. Gradually of course. It would look like small void in the center. They will say some of that detail is not going to show up in the center. And you say "That is my intension". I would get a demo deck just to see how far you can go.

Sorry, I've been a bit busy, but I don't know why someone hasn't already put you into the "Deck Artists" group. Done!

Welcome to UC - and - absolutely a fabulous design, buddy. Superb!

ace of Hearts

Looking very nice!

I don't really think you need to change from gold - Gold/Silver/Black is a nice combo - but as you may be hinting at has been done quite a lot (The last two Gamblers Warehouse decks for instance)

Can't hurt to try other colours out though;
Bone/Ivory maybe?

I love your designs, but I think having all the cards the same color would make it difficult to play with. Maybe keep the black cards gold but make the red cards red?

Or you could try making just the indices red. Or even just give them red outlines.

vovkalex - I see your indices have moved. They could be a hair bigger. Remember you don't have a suit indicator and your courts are custom. And your courts can be a bit bigger. Usually, we are bitching at the person who's bat crown is to close the cut border. In your case, it's opposite.

As for the color, Gold is Red and Gold is black. That's a no, no. You have 2 options to play with. MagikFingerz mentioned one. If Gold is red, make a shadow of a red outline for the suit Hearts and Diamonds in your index. Or if Gold is Black, make a shadow of a grey outline for the suit Clubs and Spades.

Thanks for the comments. I will consider in their work.

Really wish the courts were bigger !! There really is so much room for it to expand.

for your red/black cards issue, perhaps consider having the circle in the back to be red for red cards, white/grey for black cards, that should give you enough distinction.

We design studio from Ukraine, Kiev - Tortoise design studio. The two partners: Alex Vovk and Vladimir Kuksin.
This is our first project of playing cards.
September 10, we will present it to kickstarter.kom section design.

Our belief: Remembering our roots - we are still human beings.

We want people remembering their loved ones. Then in their life will have good luck and success.
We hope our cards will be a reminder of this.
Arcanum - mysteries connecting the living and the dead.

I can not decide on the color, can you advise something?

the back of the card

Maybe keep the gold for the main design but have the pips in red (for the red suits))?

I still think the back design can be much better if it was completely reworked

Unread post by **sprouts1115** » Mon Sep 08, 2014 5:39 pm

@volantangel - I agree. When I look at this back it screams gold border unless he does something different and that's bad because I'm becoming fond of borderless backs.

Thanks for the comments. Decided to change the back of the playing card. These options were. Therefore postponed a week exhibiting at kickstarter.

Increased court card images

I dont think the design you have for the back already (3rd option) is bad - but it needs something going on in the voids - perhaps in one of the secondary colours (grey/silver)
