House of Cards
Objective
Create a set of 8 playing cards inspired by the House of Cards game created by Ray and Charles Eames in 1952. Each card will have 6 cut slots that enable a wide range of assembling options. The theme is nostalgia.
Design Solution
Considering the theme of nostalgia, I chose to focus on a DVD series that was a large part of my childhood, Barbie. Out of the many movies I chose the following, Mariposa, 12 Dancing Princesses, 3 Musketeers, Swan Lake, Diamond Castle, A Mermaid's Tale, Magic of Pegasus, and Fairytopia: Magic of the Rainbow. Each movie is portrayed on a single card by text and vector objects, created with the pen tool in Illustrator and the brush tool in Photoshop, that are unique to the storyline.
