Playing cards Sunrise

I love the direction this deck is moving into!

However in this last image the index and pip get a bit lost in the background.
Personally I would keep the index within the scrollwork border for clarity, but make the whole design wider to move the index closer to the edge of the card.

@vovkalex - You honestly like this? Your indices are where they need to be, but it will be hard to read and you don't have a suit indicator for the non-tradistional courts. Think about what will you see if this card is 3 feet away. I'll remind you your custom pip needs to be more black at least 51% and that's if it's not in a background. Your background distorts the suit currently...

Gotta drop the stereotypically Asian font. Stay with the more legible one.

Haha ive seen much worse, this one isnt that bad

I always wish that the smaller pips were solid, as its easier to read, and most of the intricate pattern gets lost in the print anyways. What do yall think?

[Eoghann]

Good idea. From up close it's easy to tell what it is. But it's crucial for designers to take a step back or at least put the card design at arms length to make sure everything is easy to read.

I'd love to see them actually have the font produced calgraphically on a large scale using traditional materials and techniques, then scan the results and scale down / tidy up in PS.
THen you'd have something culturally sensitive, relevant and keep that specialised edge.

Butas Kai says it's not all that bad lol (Not like when you see a deck with Comic Sans or Papyrus!)

That looks awesome!

[pcggamer]

Completely agree.

I'm not a fan of 4 corner indices, particularly not when they're boxed in/framed. If you mirror the background to get the lamp (or whatever it is) on the other side, it would balance out the card better.

Also I think that last one is my favorite background of the 4 shown, still not sure about which color/shade I like better.

Love the white border, but I would not put the indices in it. It makes it a bit too hard to read at a glance. Like the lamp, just keep it opposite the indices for balance.
love both backs, more particle to the coi fish, but that is because of my tatoos.

So... how do these fit in with the backs in the first post?

I kind of like the simpler more colourful fish back design

I liked his little fishes. I like it when elements in the back of card over lap the center. He had something going and now he throws in some samurai.

Yea, that's me on the left.

[pcggamer]

As for the back design I really like the Coi fish with the swirls. The samurai dack design is neat looking but only if it is black, once the color changed to red and blue I did not like it as much. You would be able to play with the color alot more with the Coi fish if you want to do different colored decks. Also, who doesn't love a good coi fish.

The court card really isn't for me, not that its bad, its just not the sort of style I tend to add to my collection but that back (in black) is amazing. Great detail and lots to look at, with a great central theme going on with the masks.

The only thing I might suggest as a small change is the flower in the center, something not so delicate and small in detail might fit better, but thats just me

Great work!
