Created in 1990, Susan Kare's graphics for the Windows OS favourite Solitaire can now be enjoyed as a real-life set of playing cards, produced by Areaware
早在我们的智能手机、电脑和平板电脑配备了应用程序、游戏和流媒体娱乐设备之前,就有纸牌。这款忠实的纸牌游戏首次出现在Windows 3.0上,是由开创性的平面设计师苏珊·卡雷(Susan Kare)设计的,她也是最初Macintosh系统所珍爱的图标的大脑,比如垃圾桶、查找器、炸弹和套索。
为了庆祝纸牌成立25周年,总部位于布鲁克林的设计公司阿莱华将Kare的原始、像素化的图形复制成一包52张扑克牌,从而将纸牌带入现实世界。KARE甚至设计了两名Jokers,这在游戏中以前是不需要的,用来制作一个完整的甲板。
KARE说,“1990年,我使用ibm个人电脑、微软油漆和当时典型的16 VGA调色板,为屏幕上的纸牌制作了最初的像素艺术。”其中许多颜色并不特别吸引人,但幸运的是,卡片上只需要黑色、红色和黄色。
我受到了经典卡片甲板的启发,最有趣的是把Jack,Queens和Kings的复杂图案转换成72点每英寸的网格。
Kare recalls, 'I worked on the original pixel art for the on-screen Solitaire cards in 1990 using an IBM PC, Microsoft Paint, and the typical 16 VGA color palette of the time. I was inspired by classic card decks, and had the most fun trying to translate the complicated patterns of the Jacks, Queens and Kings to a 72 dots-per-inch grid'
Areaware's playing cards feature exclusive new designs by Kare, who also created the cherished icons in the original Macintosh operating system
Most notably, Kare has designed a new Joker for Areaware's deck – a card that was never required for Solitaire
