How do I create a space for spirituality through design? What visual elements do I need to create a minimalist atmosphere?
Challenges
Solution
A limited color palette delivers the minimalism I want. I wanted to use the natural world to show the meaning of each card. The cards are visually interesting to invite newcomers to the activity. At the same time, paying homage to the original card designs.
The World. Upright, it is fulfillment and completion. Inverted, it means promise unfulfilled.
The World. Upright, it is authority, structure, and fatherhood. Inverted, it is tyranny, coldness, and rigidity.
The Devil. Upright, it is addiction, materialism, and playfulness. Inverted, it is freedom, restoring control, and letting things go.
The Empress. Upright, it is nature, motherhood, and fertility. Inverted, it is smothering, over-dependence, and emptiness.
The Hanged Man. Upright, it is sacrifice, release, and martyrdom. Inverted, it is needless sacrifice, withholding, fear of loss.
The Wheel of Fortune. Upright, it is change, cycles, and inevitable fate. Inverted, it is bad luck, lack of control, and clinging to control.
The Moon. Upright, it means illusions, mystery, and the unconscious. Inverted, it means confusion, fear, and misinterpretations.
The Tower. Upright, it is disaster, broken pride and sudden upheaval. Inverted, it is delayed calamity, fear of suffering, and disaster avoided.
