A deck of playing cards

Arose from a project to create different ideas in a short time. On the one hand the medium of a playing card deck gives a limited raster for the illustrations, but on the other hand it provides enough space for 54 varying ideas with its given faces and suits.

All 54 cards are illustrated individually and served in a handmade paperbox as a limited edition.

Hope, Love, Hate & the Weird

Each of the four French suits (clubs, hearts, spades, diamonds) of the playing card deck represents a different characteristics. Additionally, the illustrations mostly refer to the digit on the card. With this system it was not possible to insert the drawings randomly.

Clubs stands for hope and positive ideas. Hearts represent the love and Spades it`s contrary the hate and death. Diamonds has been chosen to play the weird and provocative part as an anti-pole to hope.
