SYMPL Series Playing Cards

This guy wants to make cards using a design that looks like the designer's never actually played cards before...

Indices with no suits?  That takes minimalism too far.

It's so boring and the concept is so overdone it's practically burnt to a crisp.  Worse, it doesn't improve on what came before it in any way, shape or form.

I don't believe minimalism can be taken too far...but then again, I think people are misunderstanding what the whole concept and mindset of minimalism is. It really is not just to make it as bloody empty as possible. And by looking at his sketches, i highly doubt a lot of thought process actually went into this deck.

This is not minimalism. This is just another horribly boring and lazy deck.

I'm sure no one wants to read another rant on indices from me hahaha. I'm going to leave these alone, completely alone.

Wow... first time I've ever seen a christmas tree suit. Kind of sad to see the spades go though.

And what a work of genius... blank back design!! I'm sure people will flood in by the thousands, if not millions, to back a deck with terrible face cards, and no back design whatsoever.

Best of all, it wasn't even just one person that came up with this, errr, design... it was a bunch of cousins. Urgh.

Look at the ten of hearts!  If you flip it around, it becomes the 01 of hearts!  A similar thing occurs with all but the Aces (though since an "A" is vertically symmetrical, you wouldn't notice it).  Someone wasn't careful when generating these images...but then again, the same can be said about the entire deck.

All that, and they're using a budget printer.

In my assessment, these cards aren't worth the paper they're supposed to be printed on...
