I work at Ripley's Believe it or Not in Branson, MO and during the off season it was really slow so I decided to design a deck of playing cards centered around the museum. I do not plan to sell these cards as this project was for fun/practice but I would appreciate critiques as if I was selling them so i can get better I only really focused on the Jokers, Ace of Spades, and the court cards.

Here's the pictures! Thanks in advance!

Thank you! I will post some pictures later today. I tried posting through the forum but it isn't working so I will need to use another site.

The most likely reason for the problem you were having is file size.  We have a cap of 1000 Kb per photo, 5 photos per post.  It's one of the things we'll be reviewing when we look to upgrading/modernizing the site.

I did post some links to the pictures that same day. Did the post go through?

I have been playing around with the idea of adding mazes to the spot cards and I have come up with something that I really like. What does everyone else think? I spotted a flaw in the club suit and I will fix that tonight after work.

Maybe it's just me, but I am not used to seeing just the weapon on the court cards.. Something is missing

What do you mean? The whole point of the idea was to focus solely on the things in the hands of the court cards. I'd love to hear your concern but I'm not sure if I understand.

Sorry, I have been away from the computer for a while. We haven't made our invitations yet (kinda off to a slow start) but I like the idea of incorporating some of the design elements. Im not too attached to this design so I am open for changes. I would like to make it more manly. I will give the third color thing a go and report back!

I am getting married this year in Oct. and I thought it would be cool to design a deck of cards to go along with the colors and feel of our wedding. I plan to get these printed as the gifts I give my groomsmen, I want to give them one deck in a bottle, and one without the bottle. I have only started designing the back so far and I wanted some critiques concerning what I have so far. I am very new to this and I am still learning.

Thank you so much for the advice. I like the idea of setting a small goal and a stretch goal! As for the spot cards, I just have them as standard spot cards.
