This deck is our take on the familiarity of iconic images from the nostalgic world of retro video games. We were not interested in the literal representation of certain characters or properties, we were simply interested in solving the design problems that occur when you transform familiar images into a different format... courts cards, jokers, pips etc. We found the results very interesting and it was extremely fun designing this deck... while reminiscing!

The faces were drawn by art school students. 12-14 years old students did paintings with their creative outlook. We carried out a survey the aim of which was to see how children can make something different based on standard playing card faces. For main auditory the result can be unusual and irregular, but the vision of students amazed us, because of their extraordinariness. We would like to save their works in something unusual and we decided to use it in our deck of playing cards design. After we are going to give to each student one deck of Gracia, as a thank you.

"CALAVERAS DE AZÚCAR" LUXURY Edition is a custom deck of playing cards inspired by the Day of the Dead Celebration.

All the faces are personified planets and other celestial bodies. They should be the nine planets, plus Ganymede, Mimas and Halley's Comet. However I decide not to tell you that to me which card represents which planet, because I always believe that everyone has their own interpretation.
