Pinstriped playing cards

Unread post by **lms_jam** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 5:15 pm

Hello everyone I am working on something new for 2016. Pinstriped playing cards. What do you guys think so far? Still trying to decide what to do for the court cards. The colors are close to what I'm thinking about but I could still change them. I am working on the pips at the moment.

Interesting! As for what to do with the courts, easy: Pinstripe Courts!

The back design isn't overly exiting, but I'm not partial to these kinds of pinstripes, so there's that

. How are your drawing chops? I'm envisioning courts that are ridden or riderless motorcycles, in a fairly illustrative and detailed style. Maybe something like this:

Because of the skinny dimension, you could have a vertical mirror line instead of a horizontal one. That's more like a motorcycle deck though, not a pinstripe one. Ah, do what you want! (but make sure to post it, weee!)

Here is a look at the ace of spades two different ideas for the corners of the cards shown. All the aces pips will be pinstriped.

I like this deck, looking forward to seeing more. Voting for the ace without the corner element. I hope you go with EPCC as UPCC will have problems with the thin border.

I really like the look of this deck, but the name Pinstriped does not match the deck imho

...stripes envokes images of bands of varying colors and not intricate designs made by thin lines

Still, I look forward to seeing more of the designs

Actually, based on that Ace, I think the name matches the deck perfectly. Really liking what I see so far.

I think a white deck with black spades and clubs and red hearts and diamonds would be better...

Your concept has promise!

Thanks for the link Flyers

I didn't realized that the artform was called 'Pinstriping'...even though, Pinstriped still evokes images of thin lined shirts for me

Oh well, minor issue...let's see more of the cards

I like this deck, reminds me of Murano glass. Maybe that's a better suited name?

Pinstripe for a name is a no no, this deck is too colorful and wild for that.

Here is the Jack of Hearts I am still working on the other courts. What do you guys think so far? I also updated the colors just a bit.

Like it. Very colorful. The corners are a little crowded. Combined with the font and thickness, the index will be hard to read.

Very good work.

I could not recognize J easily on this card. Perhaps switching to another font will be nice.

Here is what i was thinking for all the font, I have other choices but this looked the best to me. I will see if I can find a different Font for the jack.

That JoH is a modified version of you Rainbow Illusion Metallic deck, correct? I think it might be much more interesting if you could incorporate some more pinstriping into the clothes of the courts (as you did with the halberd)...use more of the fine lines and not such solid colors

TGunitedcardists · Thu Dec 31, 2015 1:56 am

The J is hard to read. I'm not a fan of the font.

I like the colors of the court card on black.

I really like the colors, the bright lines on the black. I would interested in this one. Very cool idea!

ims_jam - The A, K, Q are about the same size. The Jack needs to also be the same size. It kind of stands out. The 10 should give you an idea of your maximum space...

Thank you all for the advice I am still thinking about this deck and your ideas I have some other ideas as well but for the moment I am putting this deck aside to finish another deck I have started.

As Jackson would say.
