I stumbled across these beautiful playing cards designed by Michelle Lam. Apparently it’s intended to inspire other designers with the use of typography and iconology. I think it’s quite nice, it’s inspired me thank you Michelle!
I’ve had a couple of people approach me to design playing decks for them before. Unfortunately in both cases they fizzled out for me as soon as they heard how much it might need in budget to design and print these things. Come on folks….54 cards in a deck? That’s like 54 individual designs plus a package design to match? It’s not easy I’ll tell you that.
But if I ever had a card deck project…I’d love to do something as nice as these… (via Lovely Package)
