APPROACH
Theory11 engaged Hatch to design a custom, limited-edition deck of playing cards inspired by Hermeticism, the ancient set of philosophical and religious beliefs based on the Egyptian writings associated with the Greek God Hermes. Hatch designed the Sentinel playing cards to include a royal court that represents the three parts of wisdom—Alchemy (Jacks), Astronomy (Queens), Theurgy (Kings)—as well as The All (Ace of Spades). The elements of earth, fire, water, and air were also applied to the suits and are represented by graphic symbols throughout the deck.
