Mattel works in collaboration with iconic aerial photographer Gray Malin on the latest addition of the UNO Artiste Series. The signature style of Malin's work is captured in the card game, featuring exotic landscapes and destinations from an aerial viewpoint. There are visuals of sunny beaches and snowy slopes to capture the dynamic range of his work. The limited edition deck brings his unique perspective to the space.
Malin shares with DesignTaxi, “I love creating images that everyone feels included in and offers a moment that families want to live within. From beach chairs to the ski lift, the scenes from my photos are meant to spark an adventurous spirit and create a shared experience through art. I hope that fans take and play their UNO Artiste Series: Gray Malin decks anywhere around the world—even in the places that have inspired my photography.”
