The goal of this project was to explain the anatomy and history of 4 typefaces while also telling the story of the1960s.

Diamonds focus on fashion and the typeface Linotype Didot. Lastly, clubs focus on television, film, and the typeface Neue Haas Grotesk.

Card design

Before designing on the computer I started the project with hand sketches.

Box design

Moving to the box design, I wanted to keep the fun colorful print found on the back of the cards while also using the type that is featured in the cards.
