Kickstarter: Playing Arts ZERO Playing Cards

The Playing Arts project was originally launched in 2012 with the inaugural deck- "Creative Cards". The idea was to create a deck of playing cards where each card will be illustrated by different international artist in their own individual style and technique.

The project was a success and backers were amazed about this idea and the team at Digital Abstracts received a lot of positive feedback about the final product.

Following that, they released editions One, Two, Three and Special under the Playing Arts name, with the same concept. The project created a buzz in the design community and was featured in more than 100 design blogs and magazines. Since then Digital Abstracts received countless messages asking when will the original sold out "Creative Cards" deck be available again.

After months of planning and development, Digital Abstract are reprinting the sold-out deck and are currently funding the Edition Zero deck on Kickstarter. According to the campaign page, here's what makes the deck so special,

For all the time that we produce artistic playing cards we dreamed to push the boundaries even further. To go beyond static illustrations. So we decided to challenge todays leading motion designers to ANIMATE illustrations from Edition ZERO deck. We will be using the latest augmented reality technology to display animations in real world through mobile AR app. That means you will be able to enjoy moving illustrations not only on the website, but while holding Edition ZERO cards right in your hands!

Animations on the 55 custom face cards of the art deck can be experienced on both on the website and through Augmented Reality iOS and Android mobile app. Printed by the US Playing Card Company on legendary Bicycle paper with Air-cushion finish for the smoothest feel.

Pledge starts at €13 for a single deck on Kickstarter NOW.
