3 in 1 Puzzle Cards

3-in-1 Puzzle Cards

Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign

Roles: Concept Development, Layout Design, Print Production

Year: 2023

DESIGN BRIEF

This project reimagined the traditional playing card as a multifunctional, collectible object. The challenge? To create a 3-in-1 puzzle card set that seamlessly combined a deck of cards, an interactive puzzle, and a poster—all within one cohesive visual system.

TASK

• Develop a product that merges play, curiosity, and design value

• Ensure each card functions individually yet contributes to a larger whole

• Balance aesthetic appeal with precise production execution

APPROACH

The concept centered on versatility. Each card was reversible, featuring gameplay graphics on one side and a fragment of a larger image on the other—allowing users to assemble a complete poster when all cards were flipped and aligned. The system emphasized both functionality and collectability, transforming an everyday object into a tactile design experience.

Careful attention was given to color calibration, alignment precision, and print-ready preparation, ensuring each piece fit flawlessly when assembled. The visual direction unified vibrant imagery with balanced grids, making the set equally engaging as a game, puzzle, or wall display.

RESULT

A design that blurred the line between object and artwork.

• Elevated a simple card set into an experiential product.

• Showcased mastery of advanced print production—from ideation to finishing.

• Demonstrated the power of thoughtful design in merging play, art, and precision.
