Satellite Playing Cards are distinctive, not quite like any other deck. The deck takes a unique, artistic and modern approach to playing card design, featuring 56 completely different backs and faces. I initially encountered the idea for this deck whilst cutting out aerial perspective images of the earth for an art project. I noticed particular areas of the cuttings were intriguing and included a variety of colors, patterns, shapes and textures; these being many elements which help to shape a successful deck of cards. After experimenting with a handmade prototype deck, I knew that this would make a phenomenal final product. Satellite Playing Cards’ artistic essence makes this deck extremely visual, adding a refreshing new flavor to your cardistry and/or card collection. With some help from our friends over at NASA, we were able to skew satellite images of earth from space and create false color composites of interesting areas from within each image. This resulted in a fully custom deck of playing cards with 56 different backs and faces. Although every card is different, they retain the same theme. This means that all the cards still correlate, just in a unique way from your standard deck. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/canvascards/satellite-playing-cards/description
