ROCK N’ ROLL

PLAYING CARDS

This custom deck of playing cards reimagines a familiar format as a tribute to the cultural legacy of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Each card celebrates a music legend through detailed illustration and a vintage-inspired aesthetic, offering a collectible experience that bridges nostalgia and bold, modern design.

CHALLENGE + SOLUTION

Traditional playing cards rarely reflect cultural icons or stories. This project reinvents the deck by honoring legendary artists like Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, and Little Richard—each card custom-illustrated with mirrored layouts, dynamic portraits, and era-specific symbols. New suits like guitars and saxophones represent distinct genres, while the overall visual system brings consistency to the face cards, numbered cards, and packaging. The result is a cohesive, high-impact tribute to the pioneers who shaped the sound of generations.
