Finally I will create a design for box and guide book if required.

Another option is creating . . .

Photos combined with design elements layered card deck designs. Adding layering elements and effects helps to give depth to the image and gives the viewer different things to notice and focus on each time the pick the card.

Or perhaps you want to create “Ai” generated images to use for a card deck. Often – my clients find that regardless of their best efforts and using different prompts the “Ai” sometimes doesn’t get the image quite right. It could be that part of the image will be cropped off when fitted on a card deck template or perhaps the image is lacking some element that you really wanted on it. It could be that there is an error such as the hands not looking quite right or something being out of proportion.

We can look at how your original “Ai” images fit into card templates taking into account print bleeds and safe print areas and discuss what you might like to change. I can edit images to extend backgrounds, add in more detail or more elements that the “Ai” didn’t get quite right to match your vision for the card.

I will suggest styles for adding wording or extra details to the cards.

I will send developments to you by email and complete the designs remotely to print ready standard.
