Hello I wanted to let everyone know that my latest deck of playing cards will be live on Kickstarter tomorrow Monday the 25th at 4:00 pm AZ time. Please Check it out. Thanks Landry

Could you possibly tell us a bit more about it? maybe show us some of the cards? What's so rainbow illusion about them? Any other info please

Hello sorry I did not post much last night I did not have time. Here are some more pictures. I love playing cards and I have been getting tired of the standard deck. I love custom decks and I wanted to do something traditional, easy to use and still be custom. The name came from the card backs when fanned out they reminded me of a rainbow. The metallic deck is a Pantone color deck with blue metallic and golden metallic, the other deck is CMYK. The limited metallic deck comes with a signed numbered playing card from the standard deck. It will be in a PVC card protector. Thanks Landry

Interesting from what I see. I'll definitely check out your KS later today.

Wondering if anybody has any suggestions for my box. I know it is missing something but I can't figure out what might work.

A total redesign..... The look of the card backs would be a good start. I like what I see except for the tuck box.

Edit: also, the card backs remind me more of a kaleidoscope than a rainbow.

As someone who works on the design field

I would recommend trying to implement the back design into the front of the tuck box.
Those "feather like" forms are too good to not use them.
Also check tuck boxes like the Ultimate Deck to get some idea of how to implement your design into the box (maybe like a bleeding effect? from the back to the front?)

A link, perhaps?

If it launched, I don't see it.

Very sorry I know I said 4 but as noted above I wanted To fix up my box. I do have a rough image of the front and the sides top bottom will have a black border the back will be full image. I think I will launch now and just leave any box pictures off until i finish them up don,t want to rush the need to look as good as evry thing els.

Yea launching at the hour you originally informed us about would be good, haha. Kind of an odd start to things when you don't do what you say you're going to do for whatever the reason.

Looking forward to seeing your tuck redesign.

In reference to the tuck.... I think you should do away with the white background completely. Something more reminiscent of your card design is what you should be going for. More like the T-shirt design on your kickstarter page. I am going to back your kickstarter because I really do like the cards and I think you have the talent and creativity to make the tuck look awesome as well.

Hello I have been working on the front of my box and would love to know what you think. I was going to wrap the back design around to the sides and i was thinking that i would wrap the top half design on box 3 to the top and tuck of the box. Thanks Landry.

the typography on your tuck is not doing it any favors. I bet if you lose that rainbow type, which comes off as a little too childish, and focus on the very cool pattern you have it will look far more sophisticated. I'd also suggest removing the gradient glow, that's kind of a trend which died. Sometimes less is more.

Latest Box Ideas

Paul Carpenter · « **Reply #20 on:** September 03, 2014, 02:01:12 PM »

That's looking a lot classier. You might want to put the two lines of text a little closer together and make sure they are the same number of curve degrees. Looks like the "Rainbow" is currently more curved than the "Illusion"

lms_jam · « **Reply #21 on:** September 03, 2014, 10:49:39 PM »

I think I have the final design for the standard deck. Time to work on the Limited Deck. I do think that the lettering needs to come down some.

Nurul · « **Reply #22 on:** September 04, 2014, 07:18:31 AM »

The design on the front of the deck reminds me of Zenith. Did it inspire you by any chance?

lms_jam · « **Reply #23 on:** September 04, 2014, 11:44:47 AM »

I really think the zenith deck looks cool and wanted to do something similar.

lms_jam · « **Reply #24 on:** September 04, 2014, 05:24:29 PM »

Here is the Box for the Rainbow Illusion Metallic Deck. I think the smaller design is the one to go with. Any thoughts would be great thanks Landry
