Hello everyone,
My name Is Will. I live in AR and work as a graphic artist. As for me and cards, I've grown up playing with retired casino decks and only recently discovered the artistic decks (is that a name? I don't know, cards with great design). So, after a while, I decided to have my next personal art project be a deck of cards.
I've designed a deck of cards and am hoping too get it on kickstarter soon. I'm well aware that there has been a flux in crappy card decks and I'm doing my best to make mine not crappy. Because I work with other designers all day, I've gotten a lot of feedback on the cards. However, being the voices of card authority you are, I want to hear what YOU think of them. Hopefully dodge a bullet or two.

Welcome Will. You'll get some good feedback here. Are you thinking of entering the current design contest here at the Forum?

We'd welcome your design and offer you some tips. I also do consulting for playing card designers - my biggest client to date is Uusi, the Chicago design studio responsible for decks like the Blue Blood deck, Bohemia, Pagan, etc.; you can find them on Kickstarter, you'll see my name at the bottom of the page in the credits for all but their first deck, the original Blue Blood deck.
And yes, as Tom pointed out, we have a design contest going on at the moment! Click on the link in my signature area just below this message to find out more about it.

Thanks for the welcome. That contest looks awful tempting. It definitely deserves some looking into. 8)
