playing card archive, 2022
this passion project is an archive of playing cards from around the world. i wanted the design to match the visual language of a playing card.
the text is typeset with a slab serif—reminiscent of the classic bicycle playing card. the text is also repeated upright in the top left corner, and upside-down on the bottom left corner.
the spreads were then printed on 4inx3in paper and sloted into plastic trading card sleeves.
