So here you go guys and gals, first picture is the different designs he went through, and the rest is the design he went with.
Here's part of an email exchange with him where he expresses some questions and concerns:
I plan to have US Card Co. print them as a Bicycle deck.
I am however new to this community and could use some advice.
First: I am considering working the Bicycle logo into the box art. This is however an extra step (it has to be approved by the US Card Co. legal).
Is this a worthwhile step?
Second: aside from uncut sheets and special boxes, what extras does the card collecting community really go for?
This may take some time as I am trying to carve time out of teaching design at CSUS and freelance design. I had wanted to get the campaign launched by this years Day of the Dead, but I doubt I will be able to meet that deadline.
