Tarot Card Research and Finalised Idea

I have discovered there are a total of 78 tarot cards, 22 of which are called the 'Major Arcana' and depict principles, concepts and ideals in reference to big events in life, whilst the other 56 are referred to as the 'Minor Arcana' and link to the major arcana, they makeup four suits - wants, swords, cups and circles/pentacles. The minor aracana represent the more minor practices of daily life.

Some websites about tarot cards:

As 56 is a lot of cards, I plan on focusing on the Major Arcana, especially as these are the main cards in tarot readings. My next step will be to narrow the 22 down to cards I can create for my project, I want to chose subjects that will not only be easy for me to create but will also be interesting to look at.



These are the 22 cards, each card has 4 different actions, for instance this is the information on The Hanged Man. There are four different actions to allow for different interpretations. 























After looking at each card and their actions, I have decided to create the following:

  • A video for Death showing the representation of bringing something to a close
  • A video for The Devil showing a representation of materialism
  • A video for The Empress showing a representation of nature
  • A video for Justice showing a representation of respecting justice
In addition to this, to show what else is possible which QR codes I have decided to create these:

  • A moving image of The Lovers
  • An animation of The Star
  • A speaking QR of The Sun and The Hanged Man
  • Text of The Hierophant
  • An image of The Fool
