Some Great Ideas On How You Can Design Your Own Playing Cards

By Darell Perry


Maybe you didn't know that you can actually design your own playing cards. Having the basics on the symbols and numbers of cards in one deck would be enough for you to go on and have your own styles. You do not have to stick to the same symbols such as the hearts, spades, diamonds, and cloves. You should let your creativity flow by pulling from every possible inspiration or source for the design that you will make use for your cards. Do not think that these customization techniques would limit your creativity. When you customize your cards, make sure you stick to the basic rules of playing cards. Then you will have a deck of cards that you will have no trouble using.

A normal deck of card will have fifty two pieces. There is nothing stopping you from having a deck of cards with less than fifty two pieces if you do not want to go with the usual. The type of card game that will be played using the deck of cards will affect this decision. In other games, you will need more than fifty cards to keep the game going; hence in such games you can make extra cards for the deck. If you are creative enough, you can invent a card game using your personal set of playing cards that have extra cards featuring new symbols.

Printing letters and symbols is considered to be the simplest form of customization for your playing cards. Before you get yourself the right type of print paper, you must first choose the symbols and come up with a distinct design that will be unique for your cards. If you want to have images of cars, nature, buildings, animals, and even people on the back of the cards, you can do so. The tools you would require in coming up with your own deck of playing cards would be a computer for coming up with the design and a printer for the actual printing. If your creativity fades you can take a peek through the internet to see what ideas it will help generate. At times, you need not look far because the internet is full of designs that you can use to make customized items.

The internet is also a very good source of ideas for those who feel that they do not have a creative bone in their body and cannot come up with their own designs. You will find a lot of websites that specialize in coming up with designs for playing cards. Some of these websites offer templates while others have ready made designs that you can choose from for your own deck. This is not as fun as you creating the designs yourself, but this is a faster way of coming up with a customized deck of cards. Customization of things is always engaging and fun, something that should be evident even when making your own deck of playing cards.

Technology, in this case, in the form of computers and printers, are a lot of help in the customization of playing cards. But they will never beat the exhilaration and triumph of designing your cards by hand. You would have to rely on your creativity and equip yourself with all the right tools and materials to design your own playing cards. A little help from your friends won't hurt too.
