ARW V2
The ARW collection by Luke Wadey explores the use of direction with a variety of bold graphics and visual elements. Evolving from the clean, contemporary look of ARW V1, the second edition uses dynamic typographic pattern work to instil controlled chaos.
Printed using neon inks, ARW V2 comes to life under UV light as flashes of colour captivate and bold arrows, redesigned pips and all new face cards contrast against each other to create an immersive cardistry experience.
A total of 4 editions were printed, including a Kickstarter exclusive which featured a Certificate of Ownership and a borderless variation of the back design. Supporters of the campaign also had the opportunity to request signed versions of the deck for additional exclusivity.
