Currently at 60% - one little step at the time :)

Any feedback or ideas you may have are most welcome!

I created a gallery on my website with a whole bunch of images to give an overview of the deck (without the need to scroll heaps) There's single card images of all the courts, and card back designs, tuck boxes + Aces & number cards combined...

All the best,

Max - your respect and good wishes makes it all worth-while :) thank you!

Prototype decks are on their way (printed by MPC)! - and I can't wait to show you photos!
On top of being a final check for the artwork/layout -these prototypes will be an exciting first look at how this baby prints. To me, this will be one big step closer to Legend's printing presses (even though it's a detour via a different printer :D)

I can't understand how this one isn't yet funded, very frustating this situation.

Keep sharing the project, I don't see you doing many KS cross-promotions, maybe you can talk to other creators to help you share the project. I you don't need to go with just creators running projects right now, reach renowned (Lotrek, Giovanni, Lorenzo, Rick, Jody, Chris, ...) as they constantly do updates on their finished projects to keep backers up-to-date on what's going on, so you can try that.

Best of lucks.

Thank you sms69x for your insights :) I have been talking to creators with live campaigns (and we've had a few cross promotions) - I hadn't thought to reach out to those creators not currently running campaigns... which is a great idea though I wouldn't want to seem too pushy...

Some decks take off and fund really quickly - others climb slowly... I haven't figured out the KS formula of what works, though am hopeful that VIZAĜO is a late bloomer and will cross the funding goal soon.

We're now at 65% with just under 2 weeks to go!

The goal is definitely within reach, so if you know anyone out there who might love these cards, I'd be thrilled if you passed on this link:

Prototypes due to arrive very soon and I'll be updating with photos as soon as they're here :)

Thanks and all the best,
Annette :)

******** VIZAĜO has funded! ******** Thank you!! and Yay! :)

8 days to go and we've crossed the funding line, thanks to 172 amazing backers and a day of big pledges. I am overwhelmed and so grateful for the opportunity to take this deck to Legend's printing presses and from there, deliver it to your most deserving hands! Thank you all!! :)

I also want to share some photos (more in update #8) of the prototype decks printed by MPC. I'm really happy with how they turned out and hope you enjoy this first look at the printed cards:

Great news - congratulations Annette!

This project isn't only a reflection of your artistic talent and creativity, but also of your dedication, hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment. I am so thrilled for you that this has crossed the line, and I am glad that the vibrancy of your personal character which this deck clearly reflects will have opportunity to shine around the world from the hands of everyone who holds a published copy of this beautiful deck.

Congratulations on a well-deserved success for a very hard-working and talented designer!

I am very happy that this got funded. As I've said before, this is one of the most original and well executed project that has been on KS in a long time. The project should have funded long ago. It is to your credit Annette that you did not give up and worked long and hard to get your project the attention it deserved. I hope the printing goes smoothly and that the entire process ends up being a positive one for you. Congratulations again- you earned it. :ucstar: :ucstar: :ucstar:

Another half brick backer. I was happy to get one colour if only one was reached. Happy to see it funded at all, to be honest. That you're doing both decks makes me very happy to have supported both runs at this deck getting launched.

Congrats and thank you.

Thanks so much sms69x :)

I'm delighted to end on such a positive note with both decks going to print (and interior tuck box printing!). A huge thanks to all of you for your support, feedback and for being part of the journey to bring these colourful decks to life - it truly means more than I can say!

Final (final) artwork has now been sent to Legends and print proofing will begin once KS funds are cleared (in around 2 weeks).

All the best,
Annette :)

Hello all :)

Surveys went out on 3 days ago and I'm currently waiting on less than 30 to complete, which is fabulous! Thank you to all who responded so quickly, it definitely makes collating information for all you backers easy on me :)

While in pre-production mode, I've also ordered a small test run of the stickers (ace of spades) to make sure they turn out just right.

All the best,
Annette :)

Thanks so much @Bruno and @sashado :)

I haven't updated in a little while, wanting to get things moving along so I'd have some real news for you guys! - so here's a little interim update :)

Physical (paper) proofs are now in production at Legends and are due to arrive within the next few weeks (3-4). Once they arrive, I'll be thrilled to share photos. You can see the digital proofs in my latest update on KS: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/19 ... ts/1967417

Backer gifts are produced and I'm super happy with how they turned out - both the buttons and stickers look great :)
Here's a photo of the stickers - (photo of buttons coming soon, it's just a really gloomy day and not great for taking photos...) Most of these will be shipped with the add-on Nine Lives Poker decks to Gambler's (from where they will be sent to backers)...

Image

Waiting on just 3 survey responses, which is fabulous - I'm really impressed with how wonderfully onboard everyone has been in this campaign - Thank you!!

Postcard Print packs and Art Prints are next on the production list - along with of course, the two VIZAĜO decks!

All the best,
Annette :)

Hard proofs have arrived from Legends - and printing will begin very soon!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/19 ... ts/1988141

Also, super happy with how the backer gifts (stickers and buttons) turned out - most are packed up and ready to be shipped to GW to be included with rewards.
For anyone interested, a limited number of these will be available on my website (nine lives) - once the campaign is fully delivered.

Image

AND... shipping from printing factory will be by AIR (not sea) - doing everything I can to meet the December delivery time :)

All the best,
Annette :)

THIS is what I like to see from a designer that prints overseas. I greatly appreciate Annette putting her backers/supporter ahead of her bottom line!
