2019 NPCCD Deck
The 2019 National Card Collection Day Deck is an interactive package for playing cards. The design is inspired by the palaces of Morocco, with intaglio engravings that mimic carved stonework and geometric patterns. A challenge printed on the side invites the user to unlock the gate. Raising the archway through a keyhole track reveals the first stage. A custom two-way mirror of 30 percent opacity hides a room that appears when light is shone inside. A final reveal shows a repeating lit corridor. The cards are coated with a raised glossy tiling effect.
