Trading Cards
This is part of a 100 trading card set that I was asked to design for Champs Marketing while working at Custom Graphics when they were still located in Solon, Ohio. The card design was done mostly in photoshop with typeseting done in Quark. This was prior to Indesign coming onto the scene. We produced a 10-up layout and paginated 100 card sets on a 40" press sheet. Champs produced many card sets for many companies. This set was produced for Champs and branded as their own product. Later sets were produced from supplied digital files. I was able to design a couple of sets as well as specialty cards. In those days computers were much slower. A blend of digital and conventional processes were used to produce this product. Note: This image is a photo of a press sheet and not original quality or color.
