The creation of “The Black Book of Cards” started with a concept: We all have a card within the playing card deck assigned to us based on the day we were born.
Each card within the Manifesto deck is built using different personality words creating typographic portraits on the court cards, the rhythmic patterns on the number cards, and the hypnotic almost 3D back design.
How exactly did this work?
Backers of the Kickstarter project submitted personality words to influence the words that were then incorporated within the typographic design of the card.
Contributors used the diagrams above to relate their birth day and month to determine what card their contribution would go on.

The idea of a collaborative Kickstarter project is an interesting one, touching very much on the cardinal importance of finding another way to connect people to their art.
And very, very eyebendy. The detail is pretty impressive.
