Valhalla Deck of Cards

visual design / illustration / package design

I was asked to design a deck of playing cards. Valhalla is designed and inspired by norse mythology. Every aspect is filled with symbols and characters from their myths and stories. I wanted to make the design dense with patterns and imagery, inspired by the classic deck of cards design. I used Odin for the king, Freya for the queen, Loki for the joker, and Thor for the jack. My hope is that each user will notice something new every time they play their favorite game of solitaire.
