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.
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:
