House of Cards - Ghost of Tsushima
2022 - 10 Cards and Packaging
For this project, I was required to choose a theme and design a House of Cards set. They are modeled after the famous toy originally created by the Eames Office in 1952. We were also asked to include definitions and examples of typographic anatomy. This project consisted of ten cards, front and back, and a box design to function as the packaging.
I chose to work with the award-winning game Ghost of Tsushima and used the cards to provide a short recap of the game’s narrative. I paired different characters that had an impact on the story with words that describe their view of the main character, Jin Sakai. The descriptive words follow the trajectory of Jin’s reputation throughout the story. The backs of the cards feature an image of a hot spring and mirror the layout of Jin’s reflections throughout the game. The backs also serve to provide the typographic anatomical definitions and link the cards with one another.
