Project Overview
This project will solely concentrate on the modern 52-card deck. The nature of this project has been condensed to a more concise version.
3 Adobe software programs are to be utilized in this project: Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop.
Key Requirements:
Logo collection for decks branding
backside of the card design
2 Face Cards (Jack, queen, king, or ace)
5 Number Cards (mix between numbers and suits)
Iconography for the four suits (hearts, diamonds, spades, and Clubs)
Packaging Design Mockup
Challenges
Indesign is not one of my strong suits (Pun intended), mainly because I have not used that software as often as I should have.
I struggled with what kind of style of cats I drew at the beginning of the project. They were in different styles that weren't cohesive with one another.
Also, spending a lot of time trying to figure out cat poses that will ultimately make the shape of the suits was quite challenging and needed a little more brain power to figure out in order to make my idea work.
I tried to make the cards as catlike as possible. Which is why I went with a Cat font for the numbers and letters for the cards.
Joker Card
King Card
Heart Black Tuxedo Cat
Tabby Spade Cat
All of these designs were carefully thought out and intentionally drawn to be as catlike as possible.
