Hi everyone!

My name's Anthony, and myself and my partner/designer Alessandra created successfully funded our first deck this year which you may have seen around. We're about to fulfil and launch our second project, so I decided to sign up finally after lurking for a while in order to get the community involved in the design and draft process.

I've been collecting cards for about a decade, but started taking it much more seriously after rediscovering magic a couple of years ago.

Ale has been a designer and artist all her life, so it made sense for us to delve into this world together :)

Here are some photos we took recently in our test shoot for the Fillide cards. I hope you like them! I look forward to getting involved with the community.

EDIT - Sorry for the huge pictures, not sure how to resize  ???

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

It's a lovely design, so far. but consider something very important.

Your "canvass" when designing a playing card is not very big - only 2.5 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall, or 64 mm by 89 mm.  It's TINY.  If you put too much detail and not enough contrast in such a small area, the end result can end up looking a lot more lackluster than you had intended.  Consider simplifying the back design's color scheme or reducing the level of detail to adjust for this.
