Eduardo “Ed” M\u00e9ndez<\/a><\/strong> is a designer based in Santiago de Chile that has worked in brand and websites designing for several years. Ed has had the interesting initiative<\/strong> of creating a deck of cards as the hallmark of his new designing and professional promotion adventure as Ed. M. Crown<\/strong>: BLACK TALES<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ed has worked for more than a year<\/strong> on this deck looking for a balanced design<\/strong>, which would please all card fans. Thus, he wanted to keep the traditional structure<\/strong> to make the cards perfectly recognizable<\/strong> and guarantee their playability<\/strong>. At the same time, he wanted to make completely customized<\/strong> cards, in each and every one of their elements, adapting them to the chosen theme, something that will delight collectors<\/strong>. In addition, the deck includes two identical jokers and two gaff cards<\/strong> (double backed and blank) that will allow magicians<\/strong> to include them in their card tricks and routines.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The inspiration<\/strong> comes from the exciting world of piracy<\/strong>. This subject that has already been treated in other decks<\/a>, is depicted in Black Tales in a different<\/strong> way. One of the main goals sought by the artist has been keeping the classic elegance<\/strong>, without falling into caricature. The court cards<\/strong> have their own entity<\/strong> and the elements that decorate<\/strong> them tell their own history<\/strong>. The pips<\/strong> are more stylized<\/strong> and the color combination<\/strong> use aquamarine green and yellow along with the traditional red and black.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The back has white borders and is beautifully ornamented on classic marine objects (rudders, cannons, sails, …) in golden yellow on a black background<\/strong>, the same colors used in the tuck case to highlight its elegance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The deck will be printed by the USPCC<\/strong> in a limited edition<\/strong> using the Bicycle stock, air-cushion finish and pantone colors for a more solid<\/strong> and coherent printing quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
