PLAYING CARDS SET DESIGN

I created this set of playing cards beginning mostly with sketches. I enjoy sketching faces and hands with just one continual line. So that was the inspiration for these cards. I drew the faces with one line and then continued on editing them in illustrator to create a more interesting contrasting effect. I wanted it to be striking but also elegant and royal. I chose the typeface for that reason and the black and white to make them pop.
