The first digitally designed and produced deck of cards was created by Adobe in 1988 as a proof of concept of how digital tools could support creative design. It was an inflexion point in graphic design, publishing, and playing card design. In 1988, Adobe Systems introduced Adobe Illustrator. To showcase this emerging graphics tool and technology, they created the Adobe Deck as a corporate give-away for the 1988 Comdex Show. The deck was designed using Adobe Illustrator 88™ software and typefaces from the Adobe® Type Library. Adobe Separator™ was used to create the plate-ready separations, and the artwork was transmitted to the printing press using Adobe Postscript®. Five different designers were involved to show the different styles that the digital tools could produce. It’s unclear how many decks were produced but I’m pleased to own a few of them in mint condition.
