Project Title:
Layered Card Deck
Project Description:
Layered Card Deck transforms drawings and AI-generated imagery from the earlier AI&&You project into a full riso-printed deck of playing cards. Using each suit as a space for texture, color, halftone, and layered experimentation, the project explores the balance between control and unpredictability within the riso process. Finished with personalized card backs, rounded corners, and a transparent tinted case with vinyl detailing, the deck becomes both a functional object and a playful study of print, process, and material discovery.
