Pick A Card
The school I teach at, Columbia College Chicago, is doing a promotional deck of cards with artwork created by faculty.
I am doing the Jack of Clubs and have narrowed the choices down to these eight.
Which do you like?

From a friend:
There are several legends as to the name and origin of the term jack for the cards. Usually, it's supposed to mean Lancelot ('jacking' the Queen), or the child of a commoner who impregnated the mother of King John (the hated) and that he was really a commoner (a Jack) and on and on. The French tradition call them knaves and the knave of clubs was Judas Maccabee.
I like number 4 and number 6!
Hi...did you consider the cards to be reversible? I mean a design on each side front and back? I like 1,5,6,7...It would be nice to see each as alternate pairs front and back...I love the concept of defining the meaning of jack. I really like the abtraction shown in card 6. Card 1 and 5 stick to simplicity but are very profound...
isn't design grand!
The back of the cards will be a uniform design like a standard deck of cards. If both the front AND back showed the value of the card. . .well. . .the deck just would not be that useful.
Design IS grand!
Thanks for the generous comments!
