Art Deco

PLAYING CARDS


This deck of playing cards was inspired by the 1920s Art Deco design movement.


GOAL
Making a standard set of cards more interesting while still being functional and not allowing each card to become too overwhelming.



The face cards were an opportunity to explore illustrating self-portraits in the same style as the suites.






MY PROCESS
I used many images from the research phase as a reference to illustrate suits and portraits. Also, experimenting with three different versions of each suite allows for more appreciation towards the most ornate suite.
