Playing Card Plethora / Re: Legacy Deck - 4PM Designs

Love the deck but I doubt it will make 30k

It didn't even make 15k on the last one how would this possibly make 30?

I still feel he should of released one color first then after hitting a stretch goal release the second.

Sweet!  Thanks

Ace of clubs.

I am on the fence on this deck. Not a huge fan of the tuck, the backs seem a bit busy also.
I like the court cards but the barbed wire is a tad overdone.


I hope the second deck will be a stretch goal because as said above it will be a tall task to get two decks funded.

I would think he is spamming.

Latest update below.

Hey everyone, I know things have been a bit quiet around these parts over the holidays, but since the printers took a two week break we decided it was best to hunker down and get things set-up as best as we can. I'm happy to say that everything was approved for the cards and they should have begun the printing process on January 2nd, 2014. This means we will have the decks in 6-8 weeks and we will begin shipping immediately.

Zombie cards!

BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN DONE BEFORE

That being said, this is definitely one of the worst ones. Cheesy, cobbled together, and generally void of effort.

Cobbled together? Let's see YOUR efforts then. It's taken me six months to do this project. It is far from cobbled. It's critics like you that talk a big game on-line and stunt creativity wherever you go. I'm sorry my work isn't up to your lofty standards... but then again, who are YOU again?

Someone with a brain and a good taste in design.

The deck is lazy, the premise is old and cliche, the theme is cheesy and non-cohesive, the "artwork" is unoriginal and sloppy, the execution is pathetic, the project is a mess, and the designer is delusional.

Take a gander at some other decks on Kickstarter.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1722808047/sherlock-holmes-a-playing-card-deck

See? These have something called "effort" put into the design. They're creative, they're fresh, they're direct and elegant, and they're absolutely amazing.
The response to your deck was unanimous. We all thought it was bad. Because it is.

Now you can spend another hour on the forum wining about it, or you could roll up your sleeves and get to actually designing a deck.

First the word is whining. Not wining. Second this type of trolling may make you feel great about yourself, but is less than useless. My designs are as fresh and interesting as most designs I have researched on line. You think it is bad, because you are jealous. I don;t see your art work displayed here. And you obviously did not watch my video, nor have you researched my other work. I am attempting to make two card decks that are "low tech." They are to be useful, not artistic. You want to see artistic? here is some of my art. One day I may put it on a card deck, But that will be when I am able to. Meanwhile I am a better artist, more creative and published more than YOU WILL EVER BE. So troll away. Flame all you like. And hide behind a group. All you do is hurt people. Which is the only function you seem to have. I hope Krampus finds you and all the other little trolls here to be quite delicious!

Fresh and interesting? No they aren't. They're just piggy-backing off other's greatness. The zombie deck may be original art, but the theme has been beaten to hell and back again.

Yep. Original idea. My art isn't displayed here because it's not pertinent to playing cards. It's primarily papercutting and ceramics. But if you're so insecure that you need someone to compare yourself to, I posted some of my stuff here. If I was to be jealous, I would be jealous of Uusi's team, Jackson Robinson, Paul Carpenter, or a plethora of other talented, creative designers.

If you wanted the deck to be functional, why did you create the least functional suits possible? Which suit is high? Which one is low? Are the brains "red" or "black"?

Accomplished artist? Please. You've hashed together a few cruddy Kickstarter projects (One of which failed, and the other about to fail) and did a few commissions. Hardly a strong reputation.

My page doesn't have personal information because it doesn't need personal information. I'm not designing a deck, so why do you need a Tumblr or Deviantart? I'm not reviewing decks, so why do you need a Youtube account?

The true mark of an insecure designer is one who equates opinion to trolling. Give Don a call. Maybe he can put this train wreck back on the rails.

AMEN to that bro!!!!

Nicely stated.

Cant wait to get my hands on some tomorrow.

I wonder if they plan on making a card that utalize that cutout as a reveal.

I have not purchased any cards from them so I am looking forward to seeing how they feel.
