J’adore… Graphos Playing Cards

I really like Playing cards anyway, but the Graphos Playing cards by Michelle Lam just take it to a new level of love…  You try and tell me these aren’t awesome… and you would be wrong anyway!!

What do I love? Attention to detail. What do these cards have? Attention to detail! Perfect!

B-e-a-utiful!!

I found these whilst doing some research for Packaging design @ Lovely Package - check it out… and more :) But I also think I have managed to fit playing cards into a project (which I have been wanting to do since the first project at college haha) so watch this space :) Oh and also… I have learnt how to play solitaire recently, and now I’m quite addicted ha

J’adore… Martin Pyper

Ahhhhhh! I’m so excited by this one!
Not only is it typography, but its MADE FROM playing cards! Love it, love it, LOVE IT!

I haven’t really expressed my love for playing cards very publically until now, but I do really love playing cards!
I have been trying to fit them into a project for a while now (I tried to fit them into my The Merchant of Venice project I had at college last year but it didn’t really work out) with no luck… and then I found this yesterday on Behance and banged my head on my desk! Why didn’t I think of this!? SUCH a  great idea - did I mention I love it!? :)

So some of the letterforms are not QUITE perfect but ahhhhhh! This is such a great idea by Martin Pyper! I think it’s also quite fitting that I have discovered this at the same time that I am having a bit of a Lady Gaga phase… with the whole Poker Face thing.


I think the use of the odd picture card is a great touch :) LOVE THIS SO MUCH! It’s so Ace :)
