Playing Cards as the Canvas at Custom 52

Saturday, July 26th, 2008 Playing Cards as the Canvas at Custom 52

This caught my eye as an innovative idea and it’s tempting to enter so have a go all you illustrators out there!

Custom52 is an online design community using playing cards as the canvas. What better way to showcase many artists work together in one collection than a deck of cards? It’s compact, convenient and functional as well!

Here’s how it works:
Each deck of cards is referred to as a Cycle. It’s FREE to enter a design into the competition cycle. Once enough designs are submitted, the cycle closes and the public vote begins. Only the strong will survive! The chosen design for each playing card will go to print and a deck of the top submissions will be produced for purchase. The top 5 designers will receive a FREE deck of cards!

We are currently accepting design submissions. Cycle I decks are SOLD OUT and Cycle II decks are currently available for purchase.

Custom 52 is designed to inspire and bring together the worldwide artistic community in a whole new way. It is developed by artists for artists. Are you eager to participate? Will your card design make the cut?
