PLAYING CARDS DIRECTION- CRIT ONE

I have decided on the the final cards in the set.

however i am wasting time as I'm trying to create designs for all the cards first. there is a danger here of generating a lot of work, which could potentially be discarded at a later date. this will have a major effect on the proposed time scales and my FMP.

DIRECTION:

1. i will pick one of the cards, ie ANUBIS, i will design the illustration side of this card in a range of different ways experimenting with different boarders.
2. work on an overall branding for the playing cards, this could be a nice way to tie all the cards together as a set, additionally i could create a new set of icons for the suits.
3. i need to experiment with formats of the cards. i need to select a format for them which will bring them across as a set of limited edition presentation cards rather then a set of standard playing cards.
4. produce a design for the back of the cards. (this could be linked into the overall branding for the cards.)
5. start looking at how i will be using colour in the set of cards. allocate colours to each of the suits.
6. this will allow me to look into stocks, print processes such as screen printing. and other processes such as duplexing and die cutting.
