Card Back designs - Page 18

I vote for number 4.

It is by far my favorite card design out of all designs posted. Can you do a inverted color of num. 4 to see what a black card would look like?

One thing about this design though, is there a way to take the black line out that goes all the way across the middle of the card and take the shadow out from under the entire design.

These designs look awesome.

I also vote for number 4. The angels seem too 'Bicycle', this seems more of a unique elegance. Is there a way you could try to possibly incorporate an "ExoMagic" theme or emblem? I noticed you did an awesome job with the animals, tough to see lol.

Added Number 4 to the Back Design Interest Thread.

Looks really great! The only things that don't agree with me are the black swoops and dots in the center, and that the design is cut off at the top and bottom. As for adding a logo, perhaps erasing the center swoops and dots and working the logo into that, tilted, like the square already dead center. I'd also like to see one with an Exo colour scheme, dark gray and red.

Overall, however, it looks very nice!

Love it. I would like a little color, but the black and white rocks.

I surrender haha. I have these pictures inside my head but I don't know how to draw. lol. but I also like Alexyn0o's. It's the best design I've seen. And I have a suggestion but I don't know if you'll like it. have you ever thought about putting something cartoonish on the design, just to make it different, If you have enought time please do try it out.

Alexyn0o · 02-26-2010, 08:51 AM

thanks all,

here are a few quick improvements to version 4 of the design.

Later on , i`ll considerate all the suggestions.

Lyle Borders · 02-26-2010, 10:00 AM

Not a fan of #2 and #5. #2's elegant pattern is interrupted by the straight lines crossing through it. #5's angel just doesn't work for me. I need to look at the other 3 side by side, but I like them all.

ok I hope you are ok with me tweaking your image, but this is a little cleaner version of the 4th image.

I wasnt trying to dumb it down I just feel that there was alot of clutter on the image.

I like that cleaned up style. All the grey in the middle just makes things murky. This clean design is beautiful.

I like the cleaned up version also, but I just inverted the colors and I like this even more.

I prefer the white background over the black. White borders might work better for different card tricks. The pring might look good in a Bicycle Red or Bicycle Blue.

As far as printing goes, the faded/dithered areas would probably not print well with the normal card printing processes.

The the design itself is very appealing, something I would not be embarassed about using.

Sam Hindrichs · 02-26-2010, 12:53 PM

another cleaning of the image gave me this. The "cow head" at the top and bottom of the card is what I cleaned up. I dont think there is much more that I can do with this image on paint.

And now a black card with white border.

The one with the white border stands out.

Brandon Pomeroy · 02-26-2010, 06:12 PM

Definitely a fan of the white-bordered one. Chucked it into Photoshop just to mess with some colour schemes, and came up with these two versions. (If you don't want us editing your design, Alexyn0o, just say so and we'll stop.

)

Sam Hindrichs · 02-26-2010, 07:23 PM

Brandon when you get a chance can you take the second image you posted (the one with red in the corners) and make the red part blue? In fact just try it with a whole bunch of colors.

One last thing everyone is posting all these big pictures of what the card design is. I have decided to post a life size picture so every one can see why I simplified alex's design.
