Matrix Playing Cards by Luke Wadey

\n

Begeistert von historischen Studien über grafische Designprinzipien und Experimente, entdeckt diese Sammlung die Verbindung zwischen Kreisen auf einem gleichmäßigen Gitter, einer Matrix von Kreisen und der Flüssigkeit der Gestalten, die daraus entstehen können.

Die Geschichte: Grafikdesign wie wir es kennen, wäre ohne die Gründerväter des Schweizerischen Designstils, auch bekannt als 'International Typographische Stil', vermutlich nicht das gleiche. Einer dieser Gründerväter ist Armin Hofmann.

\n

\n
• Begeistert von einer Studie über ihn, ist dies der erste Deck in Lukes neuester Sammlung, die seine Liebe zum Typografischen Spielkarten-Design kombiniert und mit dreizehn verschiedenen Gesichtskartengrafiken und einem einschlagentwurf.
\n

\n

Mit Sammlern und Spielern im Auge, wollte Luke dieses Deck auffallen lassen und es von der Norm abweichen. Seine Grid-Sammlung hat die Grundlage für seine Wurzeln im typografischen Spielkarten-Design gelegt.

\n

\n
• Matrix stellt sowohl den Benutzer als auch das Publikum heraus, mit einzigartigen Darstellungen während Flurfahrten, Ausbreitungen und Paketkarten; die überlappenden Farben kombinieren spielerisch und kontrastieren in Bewegung.
\n

\n

Sogar im Nicht-Benutzungsfall ist das Deck eine Arbeit der grafischen Kunst und sicherlich ein wahrhaft einzigartiger Bestandteil jeder Sammlung, und der Beginn eines faszinierenden Weges der Experimentation und Evolution, während die Serie weiterwächst.\n\n

Originale englische Beschreibung

Inspired by historic studies of graphic design principles and experimentation, this collection explores the connection between circles that sit on an equal grid, a matrix of circles, and the fluidity of the shapes that can be created.

The deck

• Designed by Luke Wadey
• Printed by USPCC limited to 2500 decks
• Fully custom, abstract design
• Premium Bee stock, crushed, air cushion finish and traditionally cut
• 56 fully custom cards including 4 additional cards
• 1 way back design with experimental card faces

The story

Graphic design as we know it, would arguably not be the same without the founders of the Swiss Design style, otherwise known as the 'International Typographic Style', one of whom is called Armin Hofmann.

Inspired by a study of his, this is the first deck in Luke's latest collection that combines his love of typography, with bold, original pattern design, fully customised with thirteen different face card graphics, and a 1 way back design.

With collectors and cardists in mind, Luke wanted this deck to stand out and differ from the norm, with his Grid collection having set the scene with his roots in typographic playing card design.

Matrix promises to question both the user and the spectator, with unique displays during flourishes, spreads and packet cards; the overlapping colors playfully combining and contrasting in motion. Even when not in use, the deck is a work of graphic art and sure to be a truly unique addition to any collection, and the start of a fascinating journey of experimentation and evolution as the series grows.
