In order to mimic de screen printing layer colours, I converted the outline into colour forms. This process could also mimic the risograph printing method.

I created 3 sets for front and back covers. These contain only one colour in different opacities layered. A simple contemporary design. The colours I choose are yellow, red and pink, all very vibrant colours that I would not connect to tarot but it gives a random contemporary feel to the publication.

After the tutor feedback session I was suggested to create my own typeface just for covers and headings. After some more research one more typefaces for this project through What typefaces were normally used in the cards, I found that most decks use really basic serif typefaces like Minion Pro or Bodoni Antiqua SC, and that is what I will be using for the inside or main text of my publication. However, while searching for modern tarot decks I found the typefaces Bignet JF Font and Victor Moscoso Font, both great inspirations for creating my own.

After adding the typeface I created, into the design I decided that I didn't like it, as it looked not professional and too childish. However, while looking through my font gallery I found a typeface I got a while ago and never used it before. Shuriken Boy by designer Joachim Müller-Lancé and published by Adobe.

Seen alone, many of its characters don’t look like letters at all, only their combination indicates text. It’s a futuristic look often seen in Japanese Manga comics and high-tech graphics. In fact, the name Shuriken Boy was inspired by William Gibson’s sci-fi novel, Neuromancer, in which a star-shaped Ninja weapon - a shuriken - appears as the hero’s talisman. The dynamic, triangular characters of Shuriken Boy are certain to add dramatic flair to high-tech tools or product packaging, toys and games, book titles, clothing labels, and computer user-group logos. And that is why I used it in my publication.
