Hello I wanted to let everyone know that my latest deck of playing cards will be live on Kickstarter tomorrow Monday the 25th at 4:00 pm AZ time. Please Check it out. Thanks Landry
-
Could you possibly tell us a bit more about it? maybe show us some of the cards? What's so rainbow illusion about them? Any other info please
-
Hello sorry I did not post much last night I did not have time. Here are some more pictures. I love playing cards and I have been getting tired of the standard deck. I love custom decks and I wanted to do something traditional, easy to use and still be custom. The name came from the card backs when fanned out they reminded me of a rainbow. The metallic deck is a Pantone color deck with blue metallic and golden metallic, the other deck is CMYK. The limited metallic deck comes with a signed numbered playing card from the standard deck. It will be in a PVC card protector. Thanks Landry

Queen of Spades

Interesting from what I see. I'll definitely check out your KS later today. :)
-
Wondering if anybody has any suggestions for my box. I know it is missing something but I can't figure out what might work.

A total redesign..... The look of the card backs would be a good start. I like what I see except for the tuck box.
Edit: also, the card backs remind me more of a kaleidoscope than a rainbow.
-
As someone who works on the design field 8)
I would recommend trying to implement the back design into the front of the tuck box.
Those "feather like" forms are too good to not use them.
Also check tuck boxes like the Ultimate Deck to get some idea of how to implement your design into the box (maybe like a bleeding effect? from the back to the front?) :karrit:
-
A link, perhaps?
-
If it launched, I don't see it.
-
If it launched, I don't see it.
Yeah, this is an hour past due.
-
Very sorry I know I said 4 but as noted above I wanted To fix up my box. I do have a rough image of the front and the sides top bottom will have a black border the back will be full image. I think I will launch now and just leave any box pictures off until i finish them up don,t want to rush the need to look as good as evry thing els.

Yea launching at the hour you originally informed us about would be good, haha. Kind of an odd start to things when you don't do what you say you're going to do for whatever the reason.
Looking forward to seeing your tuck redesign. :)
-
My apologies things do happen sometimes.

In reference to the tuck.... I think you should do away with the white background completely. Something more reminiscent of your card design is what you should be going for. More like the T-shirt design on your kickstarter page. I am going to back your kickstarter because I really do like the cards and I think you have the talent and creativity to make the tuck look awesome as well. :)
-
Hello I have been working on the front of my box and would love to know what you think. I was going to wrap the back design around to the sides and i was thinking that i would wrap the top half design on box 3 to the top and tuck of the box. Thanks Landry.
-
the typography on your tuck is not doing it any favors. I bet if you lose that rainbow type, which comes off as a little too childish, and focus on the very cool pattern you have it will look far more sophisticated. I'd also suggest removing the gradient glow, that's kind of a trend which died. Sometimes less is more. :)

Latest Box Ideas
-
That's looking a lot classier. You might want to put the two lines of text a little closer together and make sure they are the same number of curve degrees. Looks like the "Rainbow" is currently more curved than the "Illusion"
-
I think I have the final design for the standard deck. Time to work on the Limited Deck. I do think that the lettering needs to come down some.
-
The design on the front of the deck reminds me of Zenith. Did it inspire you by any chance?
-
I really think the zenith deck looks cool and wanted to do something similar.
-
Here is the Box for the Rainbow Illusion Metallic Deck. I think the smaller design is the one to go with. Any thoughts would be great thanks Landry

Glad to see you took some of my suggestions and ran with them!
I think that the second is too large and the third may be too small. Number one appears to be a good size - but there's really only one way to know for certain...
Try printing all of these out on plain paper and cover a few tuck boxes from cheap decks you don't care about with them to see how they will look in your hands. That's a good way to judge which scale you feel works best.
-
The second box is the limited edition playing cards and will have 2 metallic colors. The box is going to have a UV coating that will give the Pantone inks a shiny look.

Landry, these new box designs look amazing! Seriously well done, the colors really stand out against the black so much better. I think of the three designs either the 2nd and 3rd.
-
The cards are ok. Would it be to premature to say these are going to be snatched up by http://www.collectableplayingcards.com (http://www.collectableplayingcards.com)
-
If you are asking if I have contacted some online stores to talk about selling my decks I have. As far as them taking over my cards and doing something with them, it's not going to happen this is my deck and I want it to be successful.
-
Hello everyone I have been retooling my Rainbow illusion deck and have some more pictures to show off. I would love to know what you think of the Special Edition black deck now. I am still working on the standard deck. More on that later. Thanks again Landry
-
I wouldn't put the pips in the bubbles. I thought that 5 of clubs had only 3 pips for the longest time.
-
I was thinking the same thing. I will see what else I can come up with.
-
I have a new layout for the pips now. I think it works any thoughts? Thanks
-
I like where this deck is going. The circle back will look pretty good in a fan.
The one downside I see is having the 4 indices colors bleed to the edge. That could be an issue for poker players. For me, I just wouldn't use them for poker.
-
This is what I have in mind for the Standard deck. Not sure about the courts yet I think the one with the color behind it makes the court less visible not my favorite. Thank you for your Input.
-
Not sure about this idea. To much color I think.

Try to avoid having faces that will be printing into the bleed like that, especially when you're dealing with a four-color deck. Those colors will be visible from the edge of the deck, effectively becoming a marking system for suit.
Put the indices further into the corners.
-
Don't Know how this looks or if It will work or not. What do you think?

It's an improvement. Go just a bit higher with the index. Use a pack of plain Bikes for comparison.

Hello everyone I am getting ready to launch Rainbow Illusion playing cards on Kickstarter real soon and would like to hear your thoughts before I launch please check it out https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1427052189/1283396644?token=9ea2465d Thanks Landry
-
Looks good from here. The color patches on the indices works nicely - it also looks like you've worked out having a two-color deck and a four-color deck. Sweet!
The big question here is - what's the intended goal?
-
I'm definitely in...any possibility of higher tier early birds, say for half and full bricks?
-
Thanks Don the intended goal is to print both decks but I have been noticing that even some really nice decks are struggling to reach a large goal on KS and I was hoping that if I got one done I could always do the other later. I need to raise $5800.00 to print just the Standard Deck. I don't think I will have any higher early birds at this moment does not sound logical at this point. I was thinking about doing a 2 deck wood card display I just need to work on a sample and see how it looks, More on that later.
-
Though I do like the deck, the limited number of tiers and per deck pricing will limit the amount of decks that I will want to purchase. As you mention, there are a lot of other decks out there and $14 for a single deck is quite high (imho) and though the pricing does come down as volume goes up, I don't see myself getting more than 1 or 2 decks at the moment unless there are EBs for higher tiers.
-
once the second deck is unlocked I will open up more tiers to include both decks.
-
Hello Everyone my next deck is now live on Kickstarter. The Rainbow Illusion deck is a four color suit deck but it still has two suit colors white for the hearts and diamonds, black for the clubs and spades. Come on over and get yours now. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1427052189/rainbow-illusion-playing-cards-0/description

Thanks for letting us know - but please keep it all to one Plethora topic!
-
Thanks Don forgot I had a post already.
-
I've just doubled my pledge in hopes these fund. I urge anyone who has seen the many Rainbow campaigns come and go to give these a solid look. They've come a long way from what we first saw long ago and may grab your interest a little bit.
-
Thanks for the reminder, Fes. I just upped my pledge as well. Here is the link to the current KS:

Thanks to all who supported this project sorry I have not been on in a while to the forum. Here is an official image of the tuck proof I posted an update on KS a while back and now the cards are being printed. Thanks Don for the advice you gave me hope we can talk again when things calm down I am working on a new deck and I will make a post in the forum soon.

Is that the same tuck material as the Legends Rock n Roll deck?

Yes I believe the tuck is the same material it is a Rainbow Holographic paper.

These came together pretty well. I received mine earlier this week, so they're getting out there now. :)
