    Axolotl Playing Cards by Enigma Cards
    The
    Axolotl Playing Cards
    is a project created to help support the Axolotl conservation efforts in México by spreading knowledge about this amazing creature. This can be accomplished through the incredible art contained in these playing cards.
    Axolotl Playing Cards
    features original art for every card in the deck (Court cards, Aces,Joker, regular number cards and back design). Inspired by the Axolotl and its natural environment, the design focuses on 3 main elements:
    The Axolotl
    Water
    Water hyacinth
    The back design
    illustrates how the Axolotl interacts with the elements that are constantly present through its life. Ripples in the water created by the movement of the Axolotl pass through the water hyacinths. This scene displays the harmony that exists between the 3 elements: the water hyacinth, the Axolotl and the water.
    The Aces
    were inspired by the Axolotl's cute, almost child-like, looks and the curious interaction that they sometimes have with different plants (in this case, the water hyacinth).
    The Court cards
    have been designed to reflect what it would be like if they lived like the Axolotl
    under water all the time
    -- with air bubbles, floating hair and clothes, and even moss being present on some parts of their clothing.
    The tuck box
    is printed on a matte finish, special black cardboard. Details are printed with a spot UV finish, producing a shiny, blacker finish over the matte box. This creates a
    black on black effect.
    The Joker
    design is a full body representation of the Axolotl. There's only 1 Joker in this deck.
    The numbers
    have been combined with elements from the plants and Axolotl in order to make them more round, organic and unique.
