I have sourced a public-domain English pattern poker deck and now need every face card transformed so the royalty depicts three real people whose photos I will supply. Please keep the classic look: line work, flat colours and symmetric half-portraits, yet swap in the new faces and adjust each background pattern so small details (monograms, favourite motifs, subtle colour tweaks) tie the deck to them. Suit icons, indices and pips stay untouched so the cards remain immediately readable at the table.

One Joker must be fully redrawn as a playful homage to the famous Bicycle joker but riding a cargo bike; I will need that illustration in both full colour and a clean black-and-white variant.

For the reverse, design a traditional two-way layout built around the date (17 October 2026) and small personal symbols; it should feel intricate enough for a casino cut but still unmistakably mine when examined closely. A matching tuck box that echoes the back design rounds out the package.

Deliverables (print-ready, CMYK, 300 dpi PDF + layered source files):
• 52 standard faces with personalised portraits and refreshed backgrounds
• Colour Joker and B&W Joker featuring the cargo bike concept
• Two-way card back with date and icons
• Coordinated tuck box artwork

I’ll provide portrait photos, colour references and any legal proofs of public-domain status on day one. Final artwork is due within three weeks; I’m happy to review rough sketches early and give prompt feedback so we stay on schedule.
