The Origin playing cards special edition has been designed by an extremely talented artist; Austin Ho. The Special Edition inherited the tuck case design from The Olympians, the book-style that holds stories through art. The tuck case was printed and co-engineered with specialists from the in-house factory TOPCC with UV technology on holographic paper.
Each element and illustration has a meaning, truly breathing life into the artwork. The whole deck narrates "Genesis", a story based on Austin's imaginary world. To replicate oil ink painting, we chose to print the decks with moderated metallic inks.
The Special Edition is a bold and big approach from Austin because it's the first time he has utilized feedback to create a non-monochromatic design. He believes it gives such timeless art a stunning modern edge. The cards have been printed by the USPCC on their signature premium stocks and thin-crushed.
