Behind the Design: Queer Tarot Visions

So there I was, mindlessly browsing a podcast fan group on Facebook, when I noticed somebody looking for design help. I posted a link to my website, and a cool young dude, Korbin, reached out to me. 

"I'm a professional spiritual advisor," he said, linking me to a Facebook page for Queer Tarot Visions. 

Oh, hell yes.  

There is so much cool iconography associated with tarot cards and psychic readings, so I was pretty pumped. 

But here's the thing: Korbin isn't the kind of picture you get in your mind when you hear, "psychic." You probably think of a kooky old lady in a beaded shawl waving her long, bony fingers around a crystal sphere. No, this is a cool millennial psychic, a digital native's psychic. Someone who incorporates their personal identity in their work and specializes in social media. 

So I went into this process with three words in mind:

-modern
-queer
-mystical  

FIRST DRAFTS

I started out by thinking of ways to incorporate the rainbow when my eyes drifted down to the chunk of quartz resting on my desk. A ha!

So then I turned on some 80s new wave and made a second option that looks like Siouxsie and the Banshees met up with the gay illuminati at ULTA.

FINAL PRODUCT

Korbin was into the second logo, but, understandably, wanted a more gender-neutral eye. While I might feel spiritually connected to a fierce cat eye, that doesn't mean that everybody else has to. He also wanted the eye filled in with white.

​Voila! Modern, mystical, and queer!
