ORDER "THE FULL DECK" HERE!

Now you can order your very own deck of  "The Full Deck." "The Full Deck: A Collaborative Playing Card Showcase" was designed as a way to connect former School of Art and Design students with current ones by inviting them to participate in a show based around a common theme. First-year foundation students and alumni created the fronts of 54 playing cards, and surface pattern design students designed the backs. A communications design major designed the show installation, logo, and the packaging. "The Full Deck" was juried in by faculty from illustration, industrial and interaction design, painting, and surface pattern design.

You can purchase a deck by mail for $9 or two for $15. Click here for a PDF of the order form and instructions.
