Help Me Create A Premium Deck of Poker Cards! (28 Viewers)

Is it pretty tradtional to have the suit within the court cards be right next to the corner suits? Seems somewhat redundant, though might also be good reinforcement:

What if the boxes are flipped, so that the appearance of the suits on the court cards are more spread out across the card?

Or combine the double suits into one:

(Obviously this last one needs more tweaking of the rest of the layout than this simple cut-and-paste mockup, but it could result in an increase of the size of the box and court art, which might be cool/different.)

I love what you've done here, I especially like the reversed Courts, and occasionally the great manufacturers of yesteryear would do such a thing... I'm not sure my OCD would let me get away with it though! I've drawn so many card faces they just look the wrong way round to me They do look very nice though and I see what you mean about the balance with the pips, it does work aesthetically

I think we're agreed that all 4col integration ideas are now out and out for good! Just needed to get that out of my system

Right. I believe artwork is just about done. I have made an executive decision on the following attributes, knowing that it won't possibly please all - I apologise in advance and sincerely hope I am in a position to produce a PVC Poker deck to your liking in the not too distant future!

- Poker size
- Green & Purple backs

The Poker vs. Bridge thing was basically a coin toss, and I ultimately went with what I intended to create when I first set out - but it did become a tough decision to make, Bridge guys weren't just disregarded I promise!

Back colour choice was made for two reasons: firstly, I wanted something a little different from the regular red & blue. And second, going through old threads on here, it became apparent that there might be an issue with printing consistent red tones onto PVC, even by well respected print houses. So I went with purple/green.

Therefore, finished artwork, pending any last minute revisions, is as follows:

it’s okay. We’ll let the poker size-queens take one for the team on any growing pains. Means a better bridge run if (when) it does happen!

Look very nice. The green/purple back colours may be too close to be useful to those like me with red/green issues...I had similar decks from Desjgn in the past that were problematic in some lighting conditions. But I am in the minority.

Love the look of the cards though. Only thing that looks strange is the Jack of Diamonds, I know it's extended outside the box but make the card look like its printed crooked. Doesn't seem to affect any of the other Court cards.

GLWS, they do look nice.
