Hi everybody,
My name is Pawel Kania, and I decided to use pandemic time to create something I always wanted.
My goal was to create beautiful classic playing cards. If you want to see result please check Nocturna on kickstarter.
I?m new to all of this so it?s not funded yet. But I?m optimistic.

I like the art - the back's particularly nice.

You may run into the usual issues when printing an all-black deck that's into the bleed like this - the card edges will chip pretty quickly and start to look terrible after just a few days' worth of shuffling.  With a white or light-colored border, you don't really notice, but with black, it stands out like dandruff on a black shirt.

You'll want to really go over the back design with a fine-toothed comb - examine it closely to insure it has full radial symmetry.  With a design like this, it's easy (way too easy) to get it wrong.  One-way back designs aren't the kiss of death, but they do tend to be a little less popular.

Have you considered going full-color with the art?  I think it would look significantly more impressive with a full-color design.

What bells and whistles, if any, were you considering?
