Making a deck.

[JeffGonsalves]

Hey guys, I just wanted to know what I'd have to do to make a deck.. I've been fooling around with Photoshop for the past few days and have made some pretty cool ideas, I just don't know how to get them printed and whatnot. If anyone can help with any ideas or things I can do to get it up and about, please leave a comment.

Here are my ideas for the "pips":

of course they'll be normal sized on the cards. So tell me what you think and anyway to submit this deck or something.

Thanks

those are excellent what would the back design be and do u mean you would print it with uspcc that would be awesome i would order a brick if you sold them lol

i can help you in graphic art but the printing is hard.

that looks sick man! I would definetly get one. And i really think you should call it the " Fire Deck"

now that would be cool.

Wait... They have FIRE DECKS???

I don't remember who said that, but it seems to fit right about now.

 

[Jeremy C.]

umm, i was just saying he should call it that. ( of he actually makes a real deck )

I want to see a [red] deck.

orLike a blood red deck.

I had a design at one point.

Blood dripping from pips.

Just crazy looking, I'll see if i can find the files

 

[JeffGonsalves]

Oh wow, that was fast, I was expecting five replies in the next three days like most forums =)

Happy you all like the pips, thanks for the suggestions..

Uhm, I'm actually doing this with my friend (username: magicmatt) and he's coming up with good ideas, but I can't find a decent picture of a Bicycle back to edit.. I'm close to using my scanner but that involves numerous installations and a lot of work... So just a digital image would be good =)

Thanks

EDIT:

Here's a quick picture my friend made with a webcam, a card, and a sharpie

cool design, man. i'm sure you can find a bicycle back design on google images then edit on photoshop

I've looked around and can only find tiny images that blow up awfully and are tough to work with =) I think I'll have to install the scanner

 

[Matizu]

i can make pips and the back design you would be good with the faces of royalty and aces.

 

[magicmatt]

I'm working on this with Jeff, we are trying to figure out a good design for an ace of spades, if anyone has any ideas, feel free to post them

that's such a sweet ace!

 

[JeffGonsalves]

Yeah, that is pretty sweet.. We could colorize it and fix that big black splotch in the middle.. That'd look nice.. Thanks =)

EDIT:

We just tested with the King of Hearts.. Here's our final product:

I guess they're cool. Just don't get your hopes up about printing them. The minimum order for the USPCC is 10,000 decks, and if it's not USPCC quality, it's not something that magicians want.

 

[JeffGonsalves]

Yeah I know, I'm going to have to do some research about prices and things.. Thanks for the tip
