Playing Cards

The Playing Cards Project:

For your next assignment you will be recreating the visuals for six US Standard Playing cards.

• The six cards you will be designing are the Jack, Queen, King, Ace, Joker, and the common back design of the deck.

• You must come up with an original concept for the theme, while following the traditional layout of a standard card, as well as, the mandatory elements below.

– By original theme, I mean that the usual images of royalty on cards today, must be replaced with images that you feel make sense for your new concept. – By traditional layout, I mean that there is one visual in the center that is reflected. There is also a capital letter that represents the card and a suit, usually in the corners. (Suits: Hears, Spades, Clubs, Diamonds).

For Example: The new design could be Fast Food themed, with the Jack being Taco Bell, the Queen being Wendy's and the King as McDonald's. Or, take a look at the sample below. New York City is the theme and the city's iconic buildings replace the images of the standard royalty.
