Hey guys, looking for critique and suggestions on something I've been workshopping on and off for awhile now.

The original plan was to mock up a set of ceramics to source through BRPro, and like all good projects, I ordered a set of samples. And while I like how they turned out, they did turn out a bit... muted? I know what you see on the monitor is not how it prints, but in comparison to the Tiki Kings sample right next to them, they feel washed out. This was also before I found out about the group buy / cards mold rabbit hole, which sounds appealing, but I don't have any measurements for the cards mold chips as far as where the inlays and center band lay on the chip.

I guess what I'm looking for is CMYK values that pop harder in print and millimeter dimensions of a 39mm cards mold chip. That being said, any feedback, suggestions, critique are happily accepted. And thanks for taking the time to read this!


todo: change the 1000s to 2000, 5000 to 10k

Can you post a picture of the tiki kings beside them on a less busy background?

I think the problem is not in the graphics or text elements in the chips per se, but the colours chosen. They are muted because there is not enough contrast. That's one of the dangers of using only gradients of a single colour.

Try this experiment: turn the background behind the central graphics white. Outline your denomination in grey or black. Keep all other colored areas the same. See what you think.

I know BRPro offer design services, you might inquire if Kristil has the bandwidth.

I want to say I had sampled the stock photos with the eyedropper to get the base colors for mine, but it's been awhile since I've messed with the original files. The 100 and 500 feel fine to me, it's the 5, 25, 1000 that I'm having trouble with.

goodness, this phone takes terrible photos.
