Produced by Vanda Playing Cards, STORIES is the latest project in the Vanda Artists Series exploring the inherent duality that any tale possesses. Vanda Artists Series features incredibly talented artists who have a passion for creating playing cards.
STORIES is the 3rd product in the series featuring the artwork of Serbian graphic designer, Srdjan Vidakovic better known as Widakk. The deck is fully custom and showcase the Widakk’s retro designs.
Fully custom, each court card tells a story with original artwork featuring an artistic representation of a unique dual-sided story and has been meticulously illustrated. With its soft subtle pastel-shaded colors, each card exudes fun and charm, while maintaining the traditional function of a playing card deck. Every story has two sides and isn’t complete until you’ve heard both views.
STORIES will come in 4 editions named in different book volumes. They are packaged to resemble a collection of books, neatly ordered on a library shelf. Each volume is slightly from each other.
Volume 1 features gold on red colorway tuck with Monochomae court cards. Volume 2 features gold on blue colorway tuck with full-color court. Both Volume 1 and 2 will be embossed and comes with interior print. The two decks will be printed by the USPCC.
Meanwhile volume 3 sports a gold and green colorway tuck. The face cards come with metallic inks. Volume 4 looks rather stunning in black with gold foil. The gold foil will be featured on the cards as well. Both decks will come with interior print and embossing for the tucks and sealed with a metallic seal. They will be printed by Cartamundi.
STORIES will launch on Kickstarter on Saturday, November 2nd. Pledge starts at $16.
