PLAYING CARDS

I had the privilege of leading a small group in creating a deck of playing cards. With a collective passion for design and a shared love for all things mystical and decorative, our team embarked on a journey of creativity and collaboration. We started by brainstorming unique concepts that would bring a fresh twist to traditional playing cards. Through lively discussions and detailed sketches, we collectively narrowed down our ideas, each member contributing their distinct artistic flair.

As the art director, I facilitated the process, ensuring everyone's voices were heard and encouraging individual creativity. We carefully evaluated each design element, from suits to face cards, keeping in mind the balance between aesthetics and functionality. It was incredible to witness the transformation of our ideas into vivid illustrations, meticulously refining every card to reflect our shared vision. It was a truly rewarding experience to lead this creative endeavor that brought joy and entertainment to others. A special thanks to my wonderful team for all of their hard work and dedication!
