For this project, I created a 26 typographic card deck. This wasn’t an ordinary card deck. The goal was to create a card for each letter of the alphabet that displays a different font on each. It was important that each card utilize the same visual format, regardless of the font.
I started by selecting 26 fonts, then sketched out possible layouts for the front of the card. After landing on the best layout I refined it to perfection. After applying the format to each card, I moved on to creating the custom back patterns. I started by using mirror to create a reflection of the letter, this created an abstract design without the letter being obvious.
Along the way, I struggled to keep cohesion between the patterns. Since there was a variety of fonts, there were many unique patterns, some geometric and others not. I ensured cohesion by keeping the color and pattern size similar.
