Playing Card Plethora / Re: The Coven - Playing Cards by Kirk Slater KS
« on: January 02, 2015, 05:06:27 AM »
Hi Guys
The deck was originally called the ritual for the first attempt at getting this funded on Kickstarter, which bombed due to the costing. But not hopefully with the new design and a fulfilment company based in the US to sort things out, fingers crossed we can hit our goal.
The redesign ideas were mostly bounced off the UC forum, (sprouts1115 you get around!)
I did post on here the almost finished versions of the redesign, to which Don Boyer kindly throw some great advice my way and I (like an ungrateful fool) only took a couple of things that I liked and ignored the rest. Sorry
As it was a relaunch I thought it was only right to change the deck and the name. Offering the same again on Kickstarter seemed like a FU to all the previous backers that supported the ritual. It had its turn, I messed it up and now its reborn.
Lets hope I've got it right this time

Design & Development / The Ritual - Design Revision
« on: July 23, 2014, 03:43:29 PM »
Hi everyone
Just wanted to get some opinions on the redesign of my deck ‘The Ritual’. After the initial Kickstarter project fell over for obvious reasons, I want to make sure the design is as good as it can be.
I think the biggest issue was pricing. It was way off! But as I’m in the UK, delivery, import tax and value added tax was mounting up the production cost, leaving me with not a lot of room to play with. BUT, with card projects become more popular on Kickstarter, distribution companies based in the US are a great way round this for creators like me. This should make a single deck delivered to the US around the $12 mark.
I’ve taken on board a lot of the comments I received and have changed a fair amount without loosing too much of the original look and feel. (I hope)
The court cards are a all female cast, with the Jacks and Kings wearing masks and I've tried to keep it traditional with the one eye jacks and suicide kings.
I've been working away and I'm now at the point that the court cards have reached "Version 1". I'm kind of looking for mistakes or ideas for tightening these up. I think JoD needs a total redo, with them all side by side like this I think this one stands out too much. And I think the JoS, JoC, QoD and QoH need some tidying up, the details seem a little small compared to the others. But apart for that, let me know what your eagle eyes spot!
I appreciate all your feedback and honest opinions
Many thanks
Kirk
