ILLUSTRATED PLAYING CARDS
This project’s requirements were to make a set of illustrated playing cards with a theme and concept. The concept for this project was inspired by the famous history of the kings and queens of India.
The challenge for this project was to be able to bring out the history and richness of the culture in the illustrations, alongside making them look like a deck of real playing cards. Illustrations for the cards were done by hand and then scanned onto the screen. Each subset of the pack has a specific pattern mandala in the back that frames the character illustration of that set. The illustrations are housed in the shapes of the subsets each card belongs to.
