So, hey guys, I just made another back design. Now, I don't know if I should use this for a cardistry deck design or for a playing card deck design.
If it is for cardistry, there will be four different decks, with the same back design though, and all four of them will have a different wind/season associated with them. So, one deck will have a Winter/Boreal face (on all 53 cards), while the other deck has a Whatever/whatever face. For playing cards, no explanation needed, aside from the suits that will have a season to each of them.

Even though I'm not a catfish, I chose Cardistry because these would look much better as a cardistry deck. You might as well add something on, or get rid of the borders too! Seriously, it would be great with a nice color way.

Oh and what colours do you think I should use?

Well, following your "Four Seasons" theme you should stick to Earthy tones, right?

But I want the colours to be consistent, yet sticking to the theme, like, I wouldn't want to change blue and then the next part is suddenly red, unless that's what you guess really want.
 
So there's going to be four different purchaseable decks? If there's 4 seasons on one deck it'll only be 1 orientation l, which I would not buy. I really like the concept and will buy one of each if it's 4 decks.

Thanks! But any ideas for the colours for each section? The colours have to relate to the season, yet it has to be consistent with the other sections.
 
I think you definitely need one to be at least a nice icy blue with some green & purples in there. Leave some parts white too, but not too much.
 
I feel as though the wind needs to stand out more.
And if you get rid of the lines and blend it in a bit, that would be an epic single back design.

No I actually quite liked them.

Are you still doing 4 different decks, or one with all 4 designs on it?

If you are doing 1 design, You might want to put the sun and moon in Bottom Right & Top left corners, so one moon will cover both fall & Winter, while the sun covers spring and summer. Also, if you get rid of the lines, you could make the gradients blend better if its not too much work.
