Envisioning a design concept is a challenge, to then go back and create concept revisions for balance or the client’s individual requests can also be a challenge equal to the first. Time is money and this has always been difficult to explain, so I made a video for others to assist my business.
Located on the Chromatic Path YouTube channel, this video explains the process of graphic modification to improve an idea. Using ink on velum as the process, tightening up line definition and line-weight created balance between the black and white elements within the art.

After researching playing cards online and many other designs found at the local Yorba Linda Public Library a few unique ideas came to mind that did not fit anything seen before, it was a missing link, with a purposeful and lawful twist.
