The people have spoken!!!! MAJORS ONLY DECK FOR 2012 I have a new sigup list below, anyone who had a major before, still has that major. All minors are gone. New deadline, see below. I'll leave it as one major per person until June 15, then it'll be open for multiple cards 2012 Collaborative deck. No theme. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Da Rools: Card size and ratio. (Same as last year.) See Below The deadline is August 31th. We mean it. Any cards not with us – in their high resolution format - by then will be reassigned to fast workers – we know who they are. WE MUST have a card of the right dimensions – see below - in jpg or tiff format, at a resolution of AT LEAST 300 dpi by that date. If you can’t do that yourself – find someone who can help you, and do it NOW. It really isn’t that hard. There will be a LWB! May as well send your bios in now, and do prepare to write card descriptions too. No title or card number, that will be in the border that someone else does. see last years as an example Attached Image (viewed 144 times): Last edited on Wed Sep 5th, 2012 06:08 am by skad1 |

Card size and ratio. (Same as last year.) This diagram is the actual card size and dimensions. The dashed area is the border which will be done by someone else, your design area is 2 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches. To make the final design look as good as possible, it is always recommended to work at a larger scale. Then when the final design is scaled down at the end, it minimizes any little imperfections. It just looks better. The second diagram is the the card sized up twice size, just to give you good working dimensions. You can work any scale you want, as long as the final ratio is 1:1.5. In other words, 1 inch in the horizontal equals 1 1/2 inch in the vertical. All dimensions are in inches Attached Image (viewed 630 times): |

What do you think of this for border design? It's kinda rocky, but cool Your design will replace the center section. remember this is a ver low res versiion of the final border (the picture to the right is a blow up of the upper right corner) Actually, I agree, too busy, too dominate in color. check back later for something different. Probably quite similar ti last years. Last edited on Mon Mar 19th, 2012 02:25 pm by skad1 |

Second attempt at a border. I put some of 2011 cards in it so you could see what they'd look like. I lightened the border background alittle, so the the 3 cards are a little darker. What ' cha think? Where is everyone? There haven't been any new takers on the cards. Have I pissed everyone off? Last edited on Thu Jun 7th, 2012 10:42 pm by skad1 |

Seeing the response for the 2012 deck, I think it is a wise decision to go for a majors only. I am glad we are still going to have a 2012 deck. The later deadline is also helping for sure... at least, for me it is. I am still in my Tower year... and I think right now there is also a bit of Wheel of Fortune (bottom of the wheel) happening . Anyway, I think I will be able to finish my card before 31st of august... unless some other cards are also gonna roar their ugly little heads.

The other years, people basically jumped in so fast, the list filled up in no time. And the first cards were also already on the forum very quick. Even for the challenge deck. But this year it just seems different. I wonder why?  For myself, I know this year my energy and attention has really been absorbed by all kinds of real life things. But I still do want to make at least one card. I got this great idea, but I don't know how to realize it yet. Yesterday evening though, I kinda made a backup card for the Tower already, low res. It is a more traditional one. If I am gonna use that, I will have to make it in high res of course. But I am still hoping I can manage to do my other idea before the end of august. I don't have access to all my own photographs right now to work on it seriously... |

So sorry to hear that there was negativity concerning the last deck. I didn't know or understand what others were going through to make it happen even though I appreciated the work they did. What can we do to make it better? This is a great forum with great people so maybe we need to step back and see what all of us can do to change this around! |

I agree about the 2 deck thing. It was pushing it too far. But I really wanted to see if we could do it, and I knew it'd never fly for the regular deck. So, is it me? should I let others take care of this, would that help? |

In both cards is the hebrew letter zayin, the seventh letter associated with the chariot. In the first card are additional urim and thumim diviniation-stones. Sorry for refering to wikipedia but my English isn't good enough to explain in own words: urim and thumim at wikipedia |

It’s not strength but chariot. I admit, the second one is a bit abstract. In the lower left corner is the classical image according to Eliphas Levi. Now place yourself inside the chariot and look outside, while the two “horses” go in different directions and twist and dilate space and time. |

I'll give it a try to include the figures from the first into the second one, but will definitely leave out the text (wouldn't make sense anyway without moon and sky colors). As for your alternative takes on the chariot I like the first one a tad better. Your second justice is really creepy but I like it a lot. The first justice is a bit too abstract for me to understand. |

Wow guys, these are some really great cards! If it helps decide which version of a card to do, pop a temp version on the border (see page 1 of thread) I poped really, really low res images on the border, but you can see how they'd look as a finished card better.

BUT it is an idea for the 2013 border I just plop the tests of the cards on the border, so it is no where near as nice as what the final will be. The resolutiion is really low, and I haven't taken the time to ezctly fit the card of the border. Attached Image (viewed 48 times): Last edited on Wed Aug 1st, 2012 03:44 am by skad1 |

Hi skad - thanks for this - it never occurred to me to actually try it. The card is much better than I thought it would be with the border, in spite of the fact that the uneven white edges are visible, and I do like the Celtic reference - he is a Druid, after all, even if he hasn't a long white beard. Perhaps I'll have a play around and see if I can make them more even. Not sure about 2013 - it's not that I mind, but it would make the deck Celtic, and others might. |

I actually prefer the Judgement with the celtic border. It somehow resonated more with me. Even with the extra border. I feel like the one without the celtic border is missing something. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Btw, I have been working on my card. I have two test versions, low resolution that are very different from eachother. Not sure yet which one to go with. |

Thanks for the input, all - I'm working on evening up the border as I feel something is missing without it too. Trzes - I like the purple background - it has the effect of knocking it back further so that the figures show up more and gives an otherworldly feel. Suppose you tried it with the red wheel - maybe the gold it a little too contrasty. And/or perhaps try making the wheel completely opaque - there's a lot of translucency going on at the moment with the figures not being solid as well. |

I evened up the border as much as possible and sent the new file off to Skad. I'm glad all who've answered so far prefer the border - I think he looks a bit exposed without it. Not really sure about 2013 either - maybe we should have a rest for a year... |

If the purple version should make it, then I will mute the saturation down a bit. I tried the red wheel with purple background which didn't look too good for me. I tried an opaque wheel as well, also with opaque figures which all works fine, but in a rather different way. I wouldn't want to make the wheel opaque in the end, since I would loose the effect of the wheel also being genuine part of the background. |

Absolutely positive. It was grass from the Astridpark in which a rockfest was going on - the Red Rock Rally, on May 1st this year (well, every year, but it was this year that we went). There is more grass than there should be in the picture, after I deleted the little girl who WAS in there, when I took against my first attempt by - painting grass over her. But I can show you the original photo if you want ! And you can see that there is a LOT of grass there here: (that sounds rather odd !!!) http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koningin_Astridpark_%28Brugge%29 and here. And the second link pic is close to where the pic was taken - the grass slopes on down and there was a huge stage at the bottom. Most meaning... I would LIKE a desert but haven't a photo to hand.... Of those two I guess, like Pen, the railings, but the fearless girl is the THING, for me. I wish you'd take the card, debra. Your cards are MUCH missed in these decks |

Well, the railings are strong and she looks as though she's just about to cuff the creature round the ear. |

That was what I thought (about the railings) - and she isn't peeing any more !!! But I will scan in the salt flats and you can see what you all think. Later - I'm on the way out to buy paving slabs !!! Thanks, debra for taking away the grass - sometimes once one starts amending it never occurs to one that just finding a NEW background might be smart ! The grass worked with the girl that was photographed with it - but not since ! Last edited on Wed Aug 1st, 2012 01:54 pm by gregory |

OK - here is my positively probably last effort. This or the railings ? (Geez the devil was easy. That's what I get for taking on a second card when I had other plans for my life...)

Does this help? I think I like the last one best. Can the backgound be muted any? the tree kinda distracts alittle. It's good there, but too strong. Attached Image (viewed 186 times): Last edited on Sun Aug 5th, 2012 01:34 am by skad1 |

Man, I haven't gotten a post update from this thread in forever. Only just today noticed that there were many, many posts since I last looked (at which time the fate of the deck seemed in doubt). Glad to see there's still some weeks 'til the deadline. |

I could mute the tree. But I went right off the garden after Pen commented; she's right IMHO - so I think unless anyone else chips in, the railings have it. Papoon - what do you think - since you are passing through ? |

papoon Member

Well, just to be a contrarian, I find that the railings are much too busy for a background. Either of the other two work better for me, but I'd also mute the green background. |

I like the one on the salt pans the best. It somehow fits very well. And well, against the other voices here, I like the original one, with all the trees. Not muted. I think without trees, it looks a bit empty. If I have to choose one with less trees, then I would go for number 3, the one with the tree on the left side. |

The one next to the railings ? That was my final thought. Thanks. I see what skad means about the tree being rather strong for a background. I can always use it for something else !!! |

Mind you I have many more with fewer and smaller trees.... But I also have a life ! (They are, by the way, baobabs. the trees of life ! A deliberate choice, so I'd like to keep the tiny one at least !) |

I have been working on my tower. I have definately decided on the concept I want to follow. But... I now have several versions. So I would like some opinions on which one works best. Number 1 and 2 are quite similar, but with different broken glass. Number 3 is a slightly different idea I started playing with, where you see earth through a hole in the glass (4 is the same, but then with a lightning bold added). Now I am not sure which works best... There is still the logo of depositosphotos in all the pictures (and a arrow sometimes), because I first wanted to be sure which one I am gonna use before I buy the damn picture (of the broken glass, tried it myself, didn't work). So these are experiments on low-res. The final version will not have the logo. So opinions please... Attached Image (viewed 175 times): |

Ok, I think I need a little advice. I've got a working image that I really like. It's a collage from several (7, I think) Dover "royalty free" images. My main concern is that they may moire when reduced to card size? I know when I posted the image to my FB page it got real ugly, real quick due to moire created by the drop in resolution. Also, how do I post a sample image here - thanks! And one more thing, I think I've got the ratio correct, but would like to double-check, I'm currently working with a 300 dpi 4"x6" PSD image as my "working image," is that a correct submission format? Here's a link to the image converted to a large JPG: http://user.xmission.com/~rjlowe/blogPics/Temperance.jpg Last edited on Sat Aug 11th, 2012 07:21 pm by Markosias |

Hi Markosias, nice card. The jpg image you send Skad should be 2.5" x 3.75" and no lower a resolution than 300 dpi. Making the image smaller doesn't automatically reduce the dpi (dots per inch). So as long as the original Dover images you used were at least 300 dpi and larger than the finished card you can make the size (or the proportions) correct and it'll be OK. If the original image was less than 300 dpi you'll need to do some fiddling - either rescan if you scanned the originals from a Dover book yourself, or (if the images came on a CD) adjust the dpi to 300 dpi while the image is large before adjusting the size to make it correct for the card. Needless to say, the image will need to be a few times larger (in size) than the finished card for this to work - it's no good just changing the dpi if the original images are only slightly larger than the finished card before reducing the size, as it won't have much effect (unless the dpi is very large, which is unlikely). The proportions should be correct too. Hope this helps, Pen Last edited on Sat Aug 11th, 2012 07:49 pm by goldenweb |

Five pro for the version of gregory's strength, that she has sent already anyway. I also second gregory's suggestion for the tower: to put the lightning onto card 1. I like the Temperance a lot too. Hopefully the stitching will still be visible in the printed card. As for my wheel I hat one vote for the red and gray one, and one for the purple and yellow one. So I added my own vote and sent the purple one to skad1. I followed Goldenweb's suggestion to mute down the saturation of the yellow. Attached Image (viewed 95 times): |

Sorry I have been unavailable. My computer got sick, major trojan infection, it's currently at the hospital (Frys service) getting fixed. Apparently there have been alot of computers attacked and they are pretty busy. It's been a week and a half so far, and who knows how much longer. there is a chance that they may not be able to remove the infections, and will have to reload everything from BIOS up. So it'll take a week or so once I get it back to reload all my software. I was tryong to save money by not having one of those expensive malware programs and not having full backup. Well, it will not be a financial savings. Please, Please, let me be a lesson, a simple virus checker is NOT enough, also get a good malware checker. AND keep a good back up So, I did see alot of emails from ya'll in the email box, but I won't be able to get to them until I get mu computer back. So, essentially, the deadline has been postponed about 2 weeks. |

My final version of the Tower is ready. I got 2 votes for number 1 and 2 votes for number 4 of my initial tinkering. So I decided for myself. And I kinda liked number 4 too, so I went with that one. Anyway, here is my Tower and the description: The glass through which we look at the world is shattered to pieces. The World is broken.

IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!! Decks shipped today, except for Pens (Pen, see email for reason) and Markosias, who I never heard back from. Thank you for all your patience, I know this is a long time since some of you finished your cards. When you get the deck, there will be an 'extra' type card that has two minis of the title card. My original intention was to cut these to size, and either use it as a hang tag on a bag, or glue it to the front of the bag. But then I decided to let each of you decide what they wanted to do with it. If nothing else it'd make a good bookmark! |

Ok, I'm in. Not sure about which card yet... but I am in I would like it if we could try for a full deck. See if maybe we can get enough people this year. Last edited on Mon Jan 7th, 2013 11:48 am by truelighth |

I suppose that would be one way. One major and one - complete block of minors ? ETA I just don't feel like a random load of minors. I could take the 5s, if we go that route....? Decide fast; I picked them because I feel decidedly low and they sort of FIT just now Last edited on Mon Jan 7th, 2013 01:35 pm by gregory |

If we should take that route (which I think is a good idea), I could do the 3's, unless anybody else wants them... |

Have we decided on a major and a "number" set then ? It would work - and there would be 8 majors on their own for people who - couldn't face it.... Not that we got enough to do one each last time !!!! |

Well, I guess we are doing a 2013 deck. I was just checking for interest! Wow Now I need to start the Excel spread sheet and all that. No rest for the wicked!!! Did you notice the surprise? Bluetoy snuck in at the end. He's been in every deck so it good to see him in this one.What did you think of the LWB? Full page ok compared to little lwb? When you think of the answer to that, add to the calculation that the full sheet cost under 7.00 USD, where the little one would have cost 37.00 USD. I thought that made the full sheet look really awesome! The last decks went out today. Sorry it took me so long, Pen, but it's done now. Please let me know when you get them. We only had one participant that didn't want a deck, and that didn't stick around very long. And finally, I will start a new thread for the 2013 deck. One major and 4 minors? ?All minors to be the same type (eg all 4 of the 3;s or all the kings, etc. ) If you want less, that is ok too, but it;ll be first come, first serve. |

YES like the sheet. WAY easier and lots of decks have such a thing :) I think that works like what you said. Like. Grammar fail. Who cares Last edited on Wed Jan 9th, 2013 09:01 am by gregory |
