A pack of playing cards and a graphic design textbook all rolled into one, The Design Deck<\/a> is a fun way to learn about Graphic Design<\/strong>…<\/em><\/h3>\n

Latest brainchild of Ben Barrett-Forrest<\/strong>, creator of The History of Typography animated documentary short film, The Design Deck<\/strong> is a Kickstarter funded pack of playing cards<\/strong> that will teach beginners the essentials of graphic design.<\/p>\n

With strategies for good design and quotes from famous designers, the cards may even help improve the skills of more advanced designers too.<\/p>\n

The playing cards are printed on thick 310gsm stock with a linen texture that makes them great for card games and magic tricks.<\/p>\n

\u201cGraphic design is a hugely useful skill, and we are surrounded by it in almost every part of our lives, but most people know very little about it,\u201d says Ben Barrett-Forrest on his Kickstarter page. \u201cI hope The Design Deck can spread the love of graphic design to many more people!\u201d<\/p>\n

Backers of Ben\u2019s first Kickstarter project can expect to receive their Design Decks in July. Each pack costs $18, plus $5 to ship outside of Canada. (That\u2019s Canadian dollars by the way, not American greenbacks.)<\/p>\n
