Game Designer Jared Simmons had a vision for a deck of cards that could play like any game using a Bicycle Deck but would also work for his own unique game, Deck Express.

First, a sample of design iterations based on client feedback, then samples of the final cards.

Client proposed ideas and gave me a reference image to work off of.

Client requested specific colors, patterns, and a different type of wrench.
Using the idea of swirling smoke, I designed a club, diamond, heart, and spade to resemble the classic appearance and also stand out as unique.
The card backs took several iterations as well, based on Client ideas, trials, and feedback.
One of the largest challenges of this project was communication. The Client had ideas and provided reference samples that I emulated, but when seen, the Client realized these weren't what he was looking for. We tried several iterations of items such as the card back. At one point he wanted a railway map motif, a portion I spent about six hours working on and an additional two hours revising based on notes, all to scrap it entirely.
