Card Design Brief
We want to print a deck of playing cards (55 cards) with a custom back and front print.
- The back reflects our company identity www.geocat.net
- The front shows famous historical figures in geography and mapping (Kings, queens, jacks) and maps (Ace).
- The paper box holding the cards should be in line with the back of the card
Attached are templates for the sizes of the cards and the box. Also attached are a screenshot of our corporate website and a central graphic of our product line. The box and back should follow the corporate style. The front of the cards can be very creative :-)
(Nice examples can be found on the site where these cards are for example (which I like!):

Ours should absolutely not be a copy, but you get the idea)
