I am looking to write up a simple guide on modern playing card design for artists new to the genre.  I found a couple of resources online but wanted to know if anyone here has any suggestions or has seen a guide like this?
Thanks,
Will

You should get in touch with me sometime.  I do consulting work for playing card designers now and then.
