Did you take it down cause I get a 404 error when clicking the link.  I'm not so sure I would be able to watch it live but I would love to see it (maybe sped up so it is like one of those "speed" paintings).

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

well this was me testing if the quality was up to snuff for scheduling... i dont want to send out invites and not know what im doing. :) So with that in mind... if you want me to do another and schedule it.. what the best time and date for anyone interested?

That's a hard way to set things up.  Try a discreet poll among people posting here to see what their schedules are like and their desire to participate.  From there pick one time - you'll never please everyone with it, but it's the nature of a global forum.  The beauty of it is that if someone really wanted to know what happened, you need only post the video afterward to YouTube.

Another option I've seen designers use is to schedule more than one to occur at times around the clock as a way to make everyone happy.  For example, schedule a Saturday or a Sunday with sessions at 9am, 4pm and 11pm in your time zone, and there's a good chance you're hitting convenient times for most of the interested viewers/participants.  Schedule each to last about a half-hour or an hour so you're not tying up your whole day AND you're giving people enough time to interact.

Im really considering do this as a regular thing anyway.. but for like 10 minutes at a time... the ones i did yesterday wee more of me tweaking out the technical issues and learning HOW to manage and set one up. understanding the limitations of the software and how to make it look best with what i've currently got. it was just convenient to talk about the cards while doing it.

I like the idea of doing 10 minute segments.  It's hard to watch a 2 hour thing but I have been watching it in chunks cause I like how you explain how you do things and why you do them.

It would seem you forgot one detail.  CST (Central STANDARD Time) ended over a month ago - you're on CDT (Central DAYLIGHT Time) now!

My wife suggested that maybe the Hearts and the Clubs ( one form each color sported a more open pip design to differenciate it form the suit of the same color..

therefore:
Red
Hearts: Open
Diamonds: Closed

Black
Clubs: Open
Spades: Closed

sorry for the delay in launching.. I've been obsessing over all my elements for my KS launch and on top of it have been very busy at home..
 by no means slowing down. i'll post some new screenshots soon, but i will fight to restrain myself from over sharing so I can start conserving some things to reveal during the campaign!

Alrighty then! I have hit a big milestone and one of the more crucial points in the design. So, this is where I get you involved.
Those of you who work with Adobe Illustrator will understand, if not just nod and smile :)
I have set an Illustrator file for each court card made, on which the strokes have not been outlined. Once I cross that line in the design process it becomes a lot of work to go back and change the layout. What that means is there is time to review the current balance of the lines before solidifying them. I plan to do this in collaboration with YOU! Just follow the link here if you have a gmail account.. gmail and  the google hangouts plugin will be required to join. Hope to see you there!

PS: all those who attend will get a preview link to my kickstarter page

It's still amazing to me how UN-mathematical, INprecise and just plain sloppy the standard pips are current standard decks
