How They’re Made
Concept Art
We sent artist Marcos Abdallah striking landmarks and system-specific train models for each city as the basic ingredients for each card
Final Drafts
After settling on the elements and blocking, color and shading are finalized. The image is broken into fore, mid, and background in preparation for printing
3D
The 3D effect is achieved through tiny vertical lenses that change your view as you angle the card. The image is split up into fore, mid and background layers and the lenses change which layer you see when, creating the effect.
Printed + Cut
The cards are printed on huge sheets before being fed into a large machine that precision cuts each individual card from the stock.
Packaged
The finished cards are heat sealed inside of our custom designed foil packaging and voila! You’ve got a pack of lenticular transit trading cards.
