I think some of the art is CMYK poorly converted to RGB 'cause I'm seeing mostly negative images.  But the positive images aren't exactly great, either.

Do Pavia and Senj actually mean anything - in any language?

PurpleIce - that was a good trick, stealing the words out of my mouth.  Do it again!  :))

With those indices, the deck is unplayable.

I don't mind the one-way, I like the photographs (which clearly have a theme), and even the photoshopped backs appeal to me.  But from that point on, the deck spirals horribly.  And then comes the alternate-color deck.  For my folks, the jump from white to black is just too jarring.

Some really nice ideas hidden underneath the disconnected font bling.  Complete pass.
