i now will...

incorporate a background for the LOVE cards, i will handmake the backgrounds and then i was thinking of screenprinting them in a colour as the backgrounds will give enough depth and texture, and cards are all flat aswell so it fits the nature of playing cards in tact.



there are 15 backgrounds and there will be 15 pairs of cards, i thought that the set pair will share the same background.

placing the symbol directly on top is very flat and also the background is too chaotic and the focus from the symbol and background is split, which is why im thinking of screenprinting the background in one colour and then screenprinting the symbol ontop in a darker colour.

this clearly does NOT work:

so i will screen print the background and then print the symbol.

for the other card, i thought to simply say the origin of the symbol and a quote/proverb relating to the symbol because realistically there should not be much reading in the memory game. however, to connect the pair i will place a smaller version of the symbol on the card so that there is a direct link

like this: (i will screen print these too!)
screen print gives a texture and makes it more personal. final chosen symbols:

font choice: Constantia Regular




final chosen symbols: (ready for screen-printing)


and for the back of all the cards: (im still debating whether to screen-print these or just print it out-il have to try) - just some "cute, lovey" sayings played in the lingo of cards.
