Playing Card Plethora / Re: Vox Playing Cards // Project Vox. by Beau Challis (KS)

Hi guys! 
Ok wow, I have a lot to reply too here Ahaha. Firstly, I guess we can't all love everything and the moire really works for me at least. I didn't expect it to turn out as it has with people but it's literally like marmite. There's no middle ground just people hating or really liking it Ahah.
When I started this deck it was so long ago that the custom decks among cardists etc were not as big as they are now. Everyone used Dan and Dave or t11 decks whatever. After the Fontaines it seems everyone wants a deck. I guess I could be thrown in with this group, and it was the Fontaines that introduced me to crowd funding etc but not my inspiration. I'm just trying to get across that (at least I don't think I am) some fucking bellend with 2 stupid bloody logos on a red background thinking I'm so unique and my design will change your life ahahaha. And when I started working on this, noone that actually used the cards (that I was aware of) really designed them, like designers designed and we just used them. Now all the 10 year old have 'designed' a deck. And I just don't want to be a part of that, I'm trying my best to be at the designer end of the spectrum. Although, this is my first deck and yes I have a LOT to learn.
As for the 2 years, I contacted lotrek in November/December 2012. OK it was not 9-5 6 days a week, but it really has taken 2 years from 'Hi lotrek' to launch. Again it is just me expressing that it is not a 5 minute job.
As for the checklist, I like metallic ink and foil. A duplicate could be a blank or a double backer and you could still complain, there's really not so many options and I don't think that a big deal. If I had standard pips instead of custom you would be picking up on that aswell, and really there isn't much else I can do is there haha, at the end of the day it's still a deck of cards. I understand you picking me up on these things, but this is me stepping out for the first time so there is bound to be things I need to work on.
And lastly, I tried my best not to copy. I kept my eye on loads of projects and decks and tried my best to not be a copy. Oh and the AiP bottle Wqs a mistake, I have renamed it hopefully that will be OK. I didn't mean to muscle in on anyone, definitely not my intentions.
I'm sorry I can't please everyone
but honestly I appreciate all the feedback good or bad. Hopefully I can grow from all of it.
