Deep Sea Trading Cards - Week 2


Deep Sea Trading Cards
 Avery Stermel, Cindy Lam, & Madeline Ong

Project Synopsis: 
As a group, we are creating a set of informative playing cards inspired by Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh cards that are based on deep sea creatures with a focus on deep sea sharks. Each card will have their own “character” and have a power/ability that makes each creature unique.

Week 2 Update:    

This week, our group decided to include other deep sea creatures instead on focusing primarily on sharks. The dimension of each card will be 5in x 7in (12.7cm x 17.78cm). Each of us has chosen three deep sea creatures, with one of them being a shark:
