Turning the Page


I wrote a whole long thing to go here but in the end it boils down to "I'm not entirely happy with this one and I don't know why." Nothing is certain in life, but I'd bet you money that this card changes somehow before it sees print. Still, for now, I need to stop fiddling with it and let the old back-brain do its job...

Feeling Confined?


It's kind of a strange thing. I'm finding that when you apply a base image that connects only loosely with the meaning of any given card, it actually kind of lends depth and breadth to the card meaning. Just so long as it's close enough. You get too far off base and it's just a miss. But if you're close enough, it opens the card up. It's hard to know sometimes when you're in the middle of a design whether or not you've hit close enough to the target, or if it's just a miss.
