🪐 From the Kickstarter page :
“The Project is called “The Persian Empire”. I spent the past year designing this custom deck of playing cards. I had a great time creating these cards and now i need your support me to make this project come alive!
🪐 Creating artwork for one deck of cards means creating 54 designs for the deck itself as well as designing the custom look for the packaging on the box.The faces of the deck are designed based on ancient kings, queens & soldiers of Persia. Every element in the designs are related to the Persian heritage and culture. My goal is to give your value and enjoyment from these decks by creating work that is unique, highly playable and instantly collectable. I hope you find them so as well and are inspired to back me.”
🪐 From Max Playing Cards:
” Cy Arian is a designer that launched a very polemic project some months ago. He designed a deck based on the Persian Empire with a very interesting design and supposedly to be printed on Kem plastic cards. He was heavily criticized because there were some inconsistencies on the project related to his statements of the plastic stock and the funding goal, and also to the original artwork that, as it was stated later, it was a mix of photoshopped stock images with some personal hand drawn art additions.
🪐 Cy finally canceled that project and decided to take a time to think about all the mistakes he made in the previous campaign and relaunch a new project fixing everything. This project is called Bicycle Persian Empire deck.
🪐 From the very beginning of the project, Cy has stated the way he has designed the cards and the artwork of the deck is stunning. Design inspiration comes from the ancient cultures and old paper texture. It will be printed by USPCC under Bicycle brand.
