Playing Cards | Hominid Primates to Homo Sapiens
The Evolution of Man was chosen as the theme for these playing cards. Beginning with Hominid Primates and eventually evolving to Homo Sapiens, the progression of man was displayed throughout the suits. Combining a neutral color palette derived from flesh tones helped support this concept. Each stage of Man is represented by a different skull. The suits were developed by abstracting the skulls. Textures were applied to the solid background for a more humanistic bone consistency. The use of Adam, Eve and the temptation of the apple was added for the religious aspect. This influenced the design of the joker card, thereby getting away from the scientific approach displayed in the main playing cards.
PROCESS
Each of the suits were created based on the skulls of the different phases of man. The skulls were rotated and positioned to match the traditional Clubs, Spades, Hearts, and Diamonds suits.
