Game (Playing) Card design... thoughts?

Post by El Moose Monstero »

I'm working on a Moose Rebellion card game idea at the minute, and just threw a first idea together on what the cards might look like, as thinking up all of the cards is a long process. The text is rough and ready and unpolished, but the gist is there, design thoughts? Too much text? Needs a picture? Thoughts welcome...

Test Front:

Test Back:

Test Back 2:

That white line isnt usually there, and will probably darken the number circles backdrop, but it's only a quick first draft... and I've been toying with making the text grey to bring it line with the back, but I'm not sure yet.

They look pretty cool. Though I think the 2nd one is a tad too dark.

You think so? I was tending towards there being too much white on the first one, the back design isnt such a big issue, but I'd quite like to have them match one way or the other. :)

Maybe if the writing was lighter?

Updated. :) I don't know, the lighter text does look better, but I might have to bring in more colour on the back logo if I'm using all that purple on the front.

I think that looks quite good now, the lightness contrasts with the purple.
