I'm sure not many of you know this about me, but, I read tarot cards. I was doing a quick reading for myself when the spread before me laid it all out plain and clear: I need to do a community project. What kind of project, though? I sat and looked at my cards and the idea hit me. Create a fractal tarot deck. And that's exactly what I'd like you all to help me do!

So, here are the specs:
There are 78 cards in a tarot deck. I will make a list of open or available cards on my profile and my journal. If you're interested in a card, send me a note with "Frac-tarot" in the subject line and the name of the card you wish to sign up for in the body. Cards are on a first come first serve basis. So, first person to send me an email for a card gets that card (If response is overwhelming, I'll make it so there can be multiple decks and thusly, multiple people per card If response is low, however, I will open up the possibility for multiple cards per person.)

All fractals must be portrait layout with a 1.72857143 aspect ratio (this means some thing like 700w by 1210h or anything by that ratio). 700x1210 is the minimum size.

All cards must have a border equal to 5% of the width of the image.(for the minimum size, this means a 35 pixel border on all sides) and the name, number, and suit of the card in the border.(The 700x1210 guideline INCLUDES the border, so, the fractal itself would be 630x1140)

Artists may use any fractal program(s) they wish. High quality renders are preferred. The fractal must pertain to the information about the card. (I'll send the information to you when I've confirmed the card you wish to do)

Artists may use other mediums or resources as long as the piece can still go into the fractal art gallery ( this means it has to be within the limitations of the fractal art gallery's description)

All finished "cards" must be submitted to the Frac-tarot community project gallery (which will be opened for submissions shortly)

If you have any questions or need any help with anything (like, "Travii, could you help me put a border and text on my card, please?") Let me know and I'll do what ever I can for you.

I can't wait to see all of your interpretations of some classic symbolism and all of the fun you'll be having Put your best fractal feet forward and make this deck an instant classic

Also, for those who participate, there will be a Frac-tarot stamp/plaque/thing you can post in your journal or profile. And just to make it more fun and challenging for all of you, once the deck is filled, I and a set of judges will pick our three favorite cards and the winners will receive some subscriptions! Winners will be announced by a video "reading" given by me

And...AAAAND...Participants, if they choose to print out the deck, will be given a .zip file containing all of the images (so, if you don't want somebody else printing off your work, I don't think this project is for you.)

UPDATE:FOLKS, PLEASE WAIT TO START YOUR CARDS! Don't start making them until I've sent you the information about your cards. Also, as I mentioned, unless response is low, it's one card per person. Also, I failed to mention that I would like the borders on your cards to be white. And the text of the card in the border. ALSO, there will be a new gallery just for this project, so, be patient before you post!

Happy fractaling!
