Visual Interview #004 · Iteration II of VII · Tarot Card Visuals

The Cards Themselves.

Round 2 of 7 — card back, card front, suits, motion.

You picked cards as what to ask about next. Twelve questions, all visual — drag, slide, rotate, stamp. Every question has a little opinion box. Auto-saves as you go. Tap Copy my answers when you're done.

What I heard from VI #003, so you can correct me: vaporwave-occult edging above starseed (both, always). Pure cool, pure earthy — stars live over grounded vines. Density at the rail; maroon→pink ombre added. Eye is a hard no; crystal and gold-drip are in. Cards shimmer & flip on pick, flow on scroll, animate on shuffle. If any of that is wrong, say so below in any opinion box.

Question 1 · Card Back

Which card back feels most yours? Drag to rank — #1 is the one you'd turn face-down in a real deck.

Each thumb is a tiny preview of the treatment. Hold and drag to reorder.

1Chrome Nebulairidescent swirl, cyan→magenta→purple, no ornament⋮⋮

2Vined Starfieldneon stars up top, sage/teal vines climbing from below⋮⋮

3Rose-Gold Mandalafine concentric rays on matte black⋮⋮

4Vaporwave Gridpink-to-black gradient over cyan scanlines⋮⋮

5Single Sigilmatte void with one glowing rose-gold crescent⋮⋮

Opinion — describe your ideal back in your own words

Question 2 · Card Shape

How rounded should the corners be, and how tall should the card read? Slide both — the card preview reshapes live.

Corner radius 14px

Height ratio 2 : 3.4

Opinion — is there a card proportion you keep coming back to in real life?

Question 3 · Frame Ornament

Drag each ornament into Yes, Maybe, or No. These decide what lives on the edge of the card.

▭rose-gold rule ━chrome rail 🌿vine border ✦star corners ✧gold-drip edge ☾crescent arch ❂sigil seal ❁mandala halo 〰vapor scanline ⌀no frame at all

Yes

Maybe

Opinion — what ornament would you add that isn't here?

Question 4 · Suit Signature Colors

Tarot has four suits. Drag one dot to the color that is each suit. Totally fine to reuse a family if two suits share a mood.

Wands

Cups

Swords

Pentacles

Opinion — do these suits even split four ways for you, or does it want to be 2×2, or one spectrum?

Question 5 · Numeral / Name Style

Each tile shows how a card might render its number or name. Tap the ones that feel right — you can pick more than one.

Opinion — where do the numerals live on the card (top, corner, nowhere)?

Question 6 · Back-Pattern Density

Slide from spare to drenched. The card back morphs in real time.

✦

← SpareDrenched →

Opinion — should every card back look the same, or does the density shift by suit / arcana?

Question 7 · Flip Feel

When you tap a card and it flips face-up — how does it feel? Twist the dial from snappy to languorous.

SnappyShimmeringLanguorous

Shimmering

Opinion — what does the flip sound like in your head (if anything)?

Question 8 · Select Animation

When you pick a card out of the spread, what does it do before it flips? Drag to rank — #1 is your favorite.

1Lift & Glowrises straight toward you, picks up a pink halo⋮⋮

2Drift Forwardfloats out of the spread, settles slowly⋮⋮

3Turn To Facetilts toward the camera, then flips⋮⋮

4Shimmer & Holdchrome ripple crosses it, doesn't move⋮⋮

5Small Wobblequick tilt-tilt, like it said yes⋮⋮

Opinion — is the select animation different for a reading vs. just browsing?

Question 9 · Shuffle Rhythm

The shuffle is the app's heartbeat. Twist the dial from tight-mechanical to cosmic-swirl.

MechanicalHand-ShuffledCosmic Swirl

Hand-Shuffled

Opinion — do you want to see hands during the shuffle, or just cards + light?

Question 10 · Stamp The Card Face

Pick a motif, then tap anywhere on the card face to place it. This tells me where ornament lives on a single card.

Tap to stamp the card face · long-press to erase

Opinion — is there a spot on the card that should always stay empty?

Question 11 · Deck Presentation

How does the deck show up before you pick? Drag to rank the presentation styles.

1Fancards spread in a wide arc, edges kissing⋮⋮

2Stackneat deck, one card sits slightly offset on top⋮⋮

3Ribbonlong horizontal strip, scrolls sideways⋮⋮

4Gridtidy 3×n grid, every card visible at once⋮⋮

5Mandalacards arrange in a circle, spinning slowly⋮⋮

Opinion — does presentation shift for a 1-card pull vs. a 3-card spread vs. Celtic Cross?

Question 12 · Reversed Cards

When a card comes up reversed (upside-down), how should it read? Tap every style that feels right.

Opinion — do reversals belong in IvyGarden at all?

How Did This Feel?

Last part — quick feedback for me so the next interview lands better.
