The Elements:
Special Edition Playing Cards
ILLUSTRATION
THEMATIC DESIGN
This special edition set of poker-sized playing cards' concept stemmed from an early notion of linking the four elements Earth, Fire, Water, and Air, to the four suits, a foundational idea that directed the entire design. The design maintains a traditional card layout including reflections, original suit icons, and a consistent design pattern on the numbered cards; while incorporating intricate geometric patterns. Each face card section represents various aspects of its respective element. This personalized deck has both a sophisticated and whimsical quality.
