Well, after looking at different routes for the backs...I think this is the final. There are plenty of other versions but I want balance in the design and it's very difficult to achieve that with this pattern! However, this one is looking v promising! What do you guys think?

Cheers!

Hey guys! I'm Chris, the designer of The Type Deck.

Thanks for the comments and feedback on the deck. Over the weekend I have been redesigning the backs of the cards, as I've seen the responses from the forums and how they'd like to change it. I was hoping to get some feedback on the designs from you guys.  I've attached an image for you all to take a look at.

The mirrored pattern still needs some more attention but at least you guys can picture what i'm thinking.

As this is a typography based card deck, I kind of feel it needs to have some form of typography shown on the backs, but not too crazy like before. Maybe like B or C?

No.4 - this has an extra shadow pattern behind. I like this one, but I don't think if I was to use this, i'd have to rethink the tuck box etc and from looking at the quotes, It will add another $1,000 for the additional foil colour to the existing 3 (if it hits the target).

What are your opinions / suggestions?!

Thanks!

Don, your a star!

Theres some real helpful tips in amongst that. Thank you! Yes, I've not bought a brick yet but I think I will be backing one on KS this month when one comes up.

Do you think its a good idea to still put together a brochure so to speak for others to get educated on?

Thanks again !
Chris

Design & Development / Dimensions!

Hey Guys,

I've been working on a playing card deck now for nearly 5 months and its coming together nicely. I cannot wait to show you guys what its about!

So, its time for me to figure out pricing costs for shipping and dimensions for packaging. I wondered if anyone has released any document or guide when it comes to this topic. I know there have been alot of Kickstarter projects for playing cards, so I wondered if anyone has shared their postage / dimensions experience with us. If there hasn't been anything released, I will put some time aside to give everyone a guide to the postage costing, as I intend to try the Kickstarter way to help fund the cards.

What I think would be great for everyone to know is a guide to:

- Know the average price of a 2,5000 deck printed by the USPCC (usually around $6-8000)
- Know the best + easiest currier to go with for individuals
- Know the weight of a single playing card deck
- Know the weight and dimensions of a brick
- Know the best packets to use to protect the decks.

I also intend to do a list of price breakdown for each deck shipping. Be it 1/2/5 or 10 Decks in a single parcel etc.  for Canada USA and some Europe prices. That way others may not get screwed over when it comes to costing shipping charges :)

Has anything like been done before or shared?

Cheers for reading! :)

Yeah I thought it may be something like a couple of thousand for the added foiling. I think it'll be worthwhile though, it makes the tuck more special I think.

Is this board a good place to upload some imagery and get some feedback for the designs? Is there a thread for it? I feel it maybe easier for you guys to see the idea I have rather than trying to use your imagination lol

Thanks guys! :)

Design & Development / Embossing / foiling on Tucks USPCC
« on: February 28, 2013, 02:36:59 PM »
Hey guys, 

I'm looking to get some cards printed by the USPCC and its a pain trying to get a quote from them for having printing enhancements added to the tuck boxes. To the people out there who have had decks produced, I just wondered if you would mind enlightening me a rough price it goes up by if you were to add a Foil / Embossing to the tuck case... are we talking $2000+ ?

Note: i'm thinking of getting a run of 5000 produced.

Thanks for reading!   :D
