Tarot card design

My thesis discusses the historical development, cultural symbolism, and visual art evolution of Tarot cards, tracing their transformation from a medieval European card game to a mystical symbolic system. It analyzes the meaning construction of Tarot images in religion, mysticism, and popular culture during different historical periods, as well as the artistic characteristics of Tarot cards in terms of composition, color, character design, and symbolic representation.

My project includes 44 original Tarot card designs. While retaining the core structure and symbolic system of Tarot, I reinterpreted them by incorporating my personal aesthetic style. The works are planned in terms of character design, clothing elements, composition, and color system, reflecting both the symbolic logic of traditional Tarot and my original characters and artistic style.

Through a systematic study of the history, culture, and visual art of Tarot cards, I was able to more accurately understand the symbolic meaning and structural logic behind each card during the creative process. This allowed the designs to go beyond mere visual aesthetics and acquire cultural depth. This resulted in 44 Tarot cards that are more rigorous, unified, and thought-provoking in terms of thematic expression, symbolic imagery, and overall style.
