Playing Card Plethora / Curious Keyholes (NPCC)
« on: June 23, 2017, 11:59:37 AM »
I am getting ready to launch Curious Keyholes on Kickstarter - a new deck featuring radially symmetrical figures derived from a minimalist depiction of the court cards. These will be printed by Noir Arts and will include free international shipping.









There will also be a stretch goal for a Curious Keyholes dealer coin:


My designs tend to be quirky and weird, so with that caveat, i welcome your comments!

Playing Card Plethora / Xerography Playing Cards (MPC)
« on: January 10, 2016, 01:57:50 PM »
Here is my new playing cards project in Kickstarter. All of the artwork was run thru an office photocopier and enlarged five or six times before being digitized, thus creating the contours and complex color separations that you see.

In addition, there are 18 different pips for each suit, and no single pip is duplicated on any one card.

Introduce Yourself / Hello everyone!
« on: September 14, 2014, 03:54:49 AM »
Hello everyone! My name is Mark Allender and I am a designer living in the Akron-Cleveland Ohio area. I have been interested in playing card designs for a little over a year. I have one successful Kickstarter campaign under my belt that featured several preliminary designs. My style tends toward the artistic and has been described as "quirky" and "fun." I often break many so-called sacred rules of card design and then rigidly adhere to others. 

I do have one project live on Kickstarter called "INTERFERENCE" - http://kck.st/Xc9avX - going after a "post-industrial, post-apocalyptic wasteland" sort of feel here.

Thanks!

Mark Allender

Design & Development / DDDC: INTERFERENCE deck
« on: May 25, 2014, 03:36:37 PM »
I am currently working on a deck that is a relaunch of a test-run of another deck I recently made called Futura Black. Printed with a low-cost company, the Futura Black deck was limited to less than sixty decks. After the successful test-run, and with some tweaks to the design, I have decided to print this deck with USPCC as "INTERFERENCE." I am looking at starting a Kickstarter campaign in mid-July, but at the moment, I am looking for comments on the design.

The four pips have been customized to the design contours of the Futura Black typeface. The custom faces have been made from the ground up.

Let me know what you think!
Thanks!

Mark
