STYLIZED ILLUSTRATIONS

For this project, students created illustrations for 22 Tarot cards from the Major Arcana (greater secrets), or trump cards, consisting of 22 cards for this project. Tarot is often associated with divination and mysticism. Historically, however, picture card packs had a variety of uses and styles, including a deep tie to the community, the performance of identity, and storytelling. The combination of these pursuits is what keeps contemporary creatives coming back to tarot design, centuries later. By taking an age-old concept and applying modern takes on design, illustration, and packaging, a new approach and refreshed outlook can be applied to the art of tarot. Most importantly, we focus on developing a unique style of illustration.
