Back in May of 2013, I found a design competition organized by the United States Playing Card Company and Bicycle’s Club 808. It was a Design a Deck contest. I’d been toying around with putting together my very own deck of cards and this seemed the perfect opportunity to gain some exposure. The problem was that I had discovered the contest with only three days remaining until the deadline. I spent the night coming up with a camera-inspired card back and submitted the design. A week later, I got the email notice that I had won! This was a HUGE deal for me and really sparked my confidence to go ahead and dive in – to create what would become Foto Grafis!
