Your Imagination is the Combination
We are loving the minimal design and packaging for this special set. Celebrating half a century of low-tech UNO game play.
If you’re looking for a break from all of this confinement, I suggest you call a family meeting to the table and just start dealing. *(Phones off).
Vectorvault was re-established this year with a new look and new enthusiasm for vector art. If you are familiar with the benefits of vector design, then you already know it touches everything from animation, typesetting, packaging, graphic design and beyond.

I’ve been fascinated with lenticulars ever since I pulled one out of a Frosted Flakes cereal box in the 80’s. I could not understand how an image could move simply by the way that I moved it in my hand. Years later, I would be given the opportunity to design several of my own. One for Miller Genuine Draft. Looking back, that was almost 15 years ago:

The hatching in these customized digital portraits are extraordinary. Looking at them, I have no idea how to duplicate this process. But I would love to know.
This highly technical approach has the feel of an old world engraver. Bravo.
