Playing Card Plethora / Re: Suitable Playing Cards (KS)
« on: August 26, 2014, 02:43:48 PM »

I received this in a note from Simon Wintle, the founder of "World of Playing Cards" -- a UK site [ http://www.wopc.co.uk/ ]:

Your card designs are really excellent and we like the original approach to visual experience.

Design & Development / Re: Manufacturing with USPCC
« on: August 25, 2014, 11:32:26 AM »
Maybe it is worth my mentioning here that I interacted with the USPCC custom division a lot while developing my "Suitable Playing Cards" deck. I found them to be extremely helpful. I was working up a fairly complex job, with Photoshop files linked into their Illustrator files, using spot colors, etc. Whatever one thinks of their pricing and quality, I had a very positive experience with their communicativeness and helpfulness.

Thanks, Steven. I have to become more familiar with the way the posts operate.

Playing Card Plethora / I listened to what The Discourse had to say
« on: August 10, 2014, 12:22:26 PM »
Hello --

I received a lot of feedback from card enthusiasts to the effect that the buy-in levels were too high. I had been thinking in terms of getting support for a design project and the difficulty of getting enough backers, whereas card enthusiasts here and elsewhere were thinking in terms of essentially acquiring one or more decks. That seems like a fair complaint to me, so I have closed the initial rewards and established new ones.

The one-deck reward level now begins at $12.

I appreciate what you had to say and hope you'll consider the deck.

Introduce Yourself / Introducing myself -- Harry Wyatt
« on: August 07, 2014, 01:35:29 PM »
Hello --
My name is Harry Wyatt. I am a graphic designer in the USA (New York) who has spent much of his life doing things relating to vision and the visual system, and only tangentially related to graphic design. I have been studying and freelancing in graphic design for 5-6 years now, and I recently designed a deck of cards that is currently on Kickstarter ("Suitable Playing Cards"). I got a note that suggested I drop by here and introduce myself. So...  here I am.

While thinking about card design, I ran into Sonia Delaunay's lovely deck. Her . Then, a comment from a designer got me to thinking about the potential role of the suit symbols in card design and I wound up using elements of the symbols as a starting point in creating the card graphics. This is likely to be the only time I venture into card design, but it has been fun.

All the best,
Harry Wyatt
