Requiem Autumn
The Requiem Playing Cards project tells the chronicles of a lost love, suddenly lost without too much explanation. A broken heart became the catalyst for this project. Every aspect of the deck has been taken into consideration, from the single pip to the inner print of the tuckbox. The court cards and the aces represent specific negative feelings, and on a worn ribbon is written in Latin what feeling it represents. The 55th card shows what each card means, and the Roman numerals are dates representing specific calendar days of 2013. The pips on the number cards received special treatment, with each of them featuring a unique distress depending on their suit. Diamonds appear cracked like dry soil, clubs are split by thorns, hearts are broken, and spades resemble dried leaves. Instead of repetition, each pip has its own distinct alteration. The tuckbox design depicts a crying ram and a bold logo, resembling the style of a hard rock or metal music band. The bichromatic color scheme creates a significant contrast between the outside and the cards, with a blood-red background on all faces. This contrast applies to each card, as the back design matches the color scheme of the tuckbox.
