The French set the standard for the design of card suits as we know them today: Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds and Spades. Inspired by the though behind the meaning of the suits and numbers, I designed this deck concept
Design Process
Research
"Similar to how "elements" work in astrology, the four suits define the four basic fields of life: emotions, thoughts, the material world and our physical being."
Upon looking deeper into the meaning of this idea, I discovered that it becomes broken down into aspects in human life that we all experience, such as seasons, emotions, natural elements, values, age, etc. From these broader categories, it is broken down into four sub categories, each representing a suit in the deck of cards.
Example: Seasons
Hearts | Spring
Clubs | Summer
Diamonds | Fall
Spades | Winter
Clubs | Summer
Diamonds | Fall
Spades | Winter
The concept around the seasons portion of this idea, is what inspired by when creating this card deck concept.
