Custom Playing Cards

This custom deck of playing cards was designed entirely by hand using polymer clay. Every symbol, number, and face card was individually sculpted, photographed, and digitized. Each design was converted into PNG assets and carefully edited to correct color, refine detail, and remove imperfections. The project in total took a year to complete.

Once finalized, the assets were arranged into a complete, regulation playing card deck with consistent layout and hierarchy across all cards. After the deck was completed, the tuck box was designed to match, incorporating visual elements and motifs drawn directly from the card artwork to create a cohesive system.

This project blends physical craft with digital design, resulting in a fully realized, production-ready deck built from tactile materials.
