After choosing four cards I started to test layouts on photoshop. I think I want a block colour background with a circular element. The cards i've chosen are quite opposite, and fall into positive/negative. The Sun and The Lovers are quite positive cards/imagery, whereas The Moon and Death are more negative, To show this, the sun and lovers will have the circular element at the top of the card, in opposition to the other two which will be at the bottom going upwards. I think that this will allow them to work as a set while conveying different feelings, as well as reinforcing the fact that depending on which way up the card is facing, it means different things.
The only problem with this is the type, would having the circle at the bottom be detracted from with the name of the card. or could I reverse them.
I think this will be the standard layout across all four cards, I'll just rotate 180 degrees for the sun and the lovers. My next step is to scan and piece together the rest of the elements, I just need to figure out how they will fit in the frame.
