From Solitaire to Social Feeds

Cards aren’t just for games, they’re everywhere in our increasingly-digital world: think social media feeds, e-commerce sites, and project management tools. These graphic widgets have deep roots, tracing back (way, way back!) to intricate playing cards, tarot decks, and even Microsoft Solitaire (yes, the ultimate ‘90s time-killer). Cards aren’t a particularly sexy design element, but their clean structure and bite-sized info containers make them a great fit for storytelling with design. No matter how you use them, cards are definitely design elements with historical and cultural weight!
