From my childhood love of everything Pokemon and the resurge of popularity from

the release of Pokemon Go, I decided to start a personal project and set myself the

task of recreating the Pokemon trading cards themselves.





I wanted to take inspiration from the original cards and push them on further by giving them

a modern look and feel but still maintain certain attributes that nod to the originals.





I created new symbols for the different types of Pokemon and made these a larger focal point

of the card, thus creating a new colour scheme for each type that will allow the cards to be more

user friendly for all audiences.





Legendary and special Pokemon cards will have a spot UV finish on the Pokemon image and borders,

to give those cards a more collectable feel I decided to allow the images of the Pokemon to be full bleed

and not be contained by the circle that is part of the generic design for the rest of the set.





As for the back of the cards, I opted to go for a more premium feel creating a pattern consisting

of all the symbols and keeping it black and white as not to clash with the front of the cards.





*None of the Pokemon images used are mine and all information used on the cards are from the original cards themselves.
