Graphic Design Brief
I need a graphic illustration for a playing card game.
The name of the game is called 'Fours' and that should be incorporated in the design.
I will attach a basic draft of what I want, the rest is a blank canvas. Where you can be as creative as you want.
I like how older playing cards look.
The attached images are just an example of what I want, not necessarily the artwork style. You can be creative thats up to you.
See Nice to haves - you don't have to follow this but if someone would design really nicely like this, they would win for sure.
