This custom-designed deck explores the visual symbolism of death across every card, from the haunting character illustrations to the barbed rose motifs and skull-lined borders. Inspired by gothic art, religious iconography, and metal poster design, the deck blends bold contrast with intricate line work to create a collectible set that’s both dramatic and playable.

Every suit was reimagined with its own dark twist, bleeding hearts, skeletal royalty, and grim reapers replacing traditional face cards. The packaging design reinforces the theme with a cloaked figure front and center, surrounded by barbed vines and skulls, setting the tone before the first card is drawn.

This was a full branding and illustration project that included:

• Custom card back and front designs

• Unique face card illustrations

• Fully designed tuck box with thematic typography

• Cohesive black, red, and white color palette

Whether for gameplay or display, Death Deck was made to turn heads and challenge tradition.
