Personal Development: 30 Day Challenge - Day 8

The prompt for day 8 was ‘Ritual’ which led me to thought of divination and witchcraft. Due to this I chose to base my illustration around the use of tarot cards however I made sure these showcased a more appropriate styling which would not cause offense to anyone by designing the illustration on the back of the cards, this also allowed me to be a lot more efficient with my time rather than having to design each individual tarot, not only this but by only displaying the back of the cards it leaves my design up to the interpretation of the audience more.

It wasn’t until posting this image online however that I noticed how light the colours really are and how this really diminishes the overall impact of the design. I will need to return to my Procreate file before submitting this design to make sure the colours have a better level of contrast, so they remain visible to the audience. This is unusual considering they are vibrant on Procreate however upon exporting their colours have become greatly desaturated. This will be an important lesson to note in future whilst working on future projects, to ensure I do not face a similar issue.

Overall I found the card pattern cute and interesting and would love to re-work this design into something more vibrant and eye-catching. However, at this point in time there are too many areas which need improving in order for me to class this illustration as a success, I really liked the concept but the execution failed upon exporting the creation.
