Wisteria Playing Cards

"Wisteria Playing Cards" tread the path between vintage and modern. The Wisteria project by Found Playing Cards began with the inspiration of classic cinema and was emboldened by the nostalgia of film photography.

Limited run of 1,000 decks printed by USPCC on classic stock.

Back Design
These playing cards were designed around a film photo that was renewed and transformed to create something new. The simplicity of the back design is meant to let the hues and values in the photo take center stage in setting the tone of the deck. A four-pointed star breaks the photo into four sections, acting like a window into the world of the cards. On the outside of the box, the star design is inverted, acting as a symbol that sticks in the viewer's mind.

Face Design
The courts were inspired by strong typography and hold true to the legacy of classic Arrco faces. This allows for the "window" theme to carry through to this element of the design. The striking result leaves a pleasant balance between cardistry-driven boldness and magic influenced subtlety.
