Solution

Whether focusing on the nature of a game or the theme of a pack of playing cards, the packaging must be designed in a visually arresting way and have shelf-presence that stands out from the competition.

Results

Over 100 packs of themed playing cards, all individually designed, some now collectors’ items.

London Transport cards

The collection is a tribute to Frank Pick, the main inspiration behind London Underground's corporate identity and brand. Pick established the style and look of the posters by commissioning artists as diverse as McKnight Kauffer, Paul Nash, Graham Sutherland and Man Ray. Their brief was to produce eye-cathing designs which would capture the imagination, and make people travel. They did just that.
