SYS-84 PLAYING CARDS

This project explored system based design through the creation of fully custom playing card deck. The objective was to design cards and packaging that were visually cohesive and recognizable at a glance.

Each suit was assigned a distinct color—red, blue, green and white referencing RGB pixel elements in computer screens. This color system helped differentiate the suits while reinforcing the digital theme. The Joker cards were intentionally treated as anomalies within the system. Rendered in yellow and featuring glitch effects, they were designed to emulate a computer virus, breaking the established rules of the deck.

Reinforcing the concept, the packaging is designed to emulate 1980's personal computers, transforming the box into fun and functional object. Details such as illustrated VGA and coaxial ports were added.
