The 1st Discourse Deck Design Contest - COMPLETED!

[Captain.Awesome]

Revised:
Hi Guys!
I'm Randall Veneracion From the Philippines. I saw this contest while checking out Expert Playing Card Company and i thought why not try my luck. Playing cards is one of the things I always have in my bag or in my pocket and since I love cards sometimes I create some artwork of playing cards design. So this one is a simple back design that I really like and i think it's really neat.

I called this one "SEAMLESS".

Hope you guys like it.

I'll make it official right now - I declare that with a clear majority of the votes, the winner of the First Discourse Design Contest is Giovanni Meroni, with "the Evil Deck"!  I've contacted Bill Kalush just now with the happy results.

I wish to congratulate EVERY entrant in the contest.  There were some excellent submissions and I hope that the exposure you received here inspires you and others, helping you to refine your design and bring it to fruition.
