it will be more interesting to use characters from four different mythologies for the different suits in a pack of playing cards. for example i could use characters, gods, goddesses, narrative from myths and apply them to the four suits:
Ancient greek- hearts
Egyptian- spades
Norse -clubs
Chinese- diamonds
However: this could also be risky as it will be very open,
as this pilimanry taxonomy which i have used above, consists of a range of different visual languages and narrative which is very different. this will be difficult to make the cards work as an overall set, as the four individual sets will be very contrasting.
A common way i could make these work is to have the same layout and limitation of colour, this will create consistency however, it will still be risky and overall feels like a concept which lacks originality and full exploitation of an idea.
