Tasked to create a pack of Bridge sized playing cards based off a certain type of art style. I chose the celtic art style and then let that give me inspiration for my topic where I chose celtic mythology.
I had to create a king, queen, jack, ace, a number card and then the back of a card. Each face card had to be a different suit and the ace had to be whatever one I had missed.

Each face card contains the same brooch design around the cape's of their clothing.
