New Card Back

Following on from my previous post regarding the back of the playing cards, I have finalised the design and made some alterations to the layout. The previous card did not include the essential QR code which redirects to my website page which displays all of the final playing cards, their behind the scenes production and their accompanying GIF’s. In my mock ups I had left the QR code’s in their original black and white scheme- which was quite stark against the colour pallet I selected for the rest of the playing cards. I decided to change this to black and purple (sampled from the lines on the card) to make it feel more settled and blend in slightly more. I do feel as though the QR code looks a little bit strange on the card, but I could not think of a concept that would make it look more normal (tried to look at circular QR codes but without any success). I also added lines on the neighbouring blue circles (in yellow sampled from the diamond shape) to make it feel more combined and consistent. I am overall quite pleased with the playing card backs and think they compliment the front side illustrations well. All of the playing cards will display the same QR code which directs back to the FMP page of my website- from here the audience will be able to navigate their way through the cards and the other pieces of work.
