FE: Three Houses Tarot Card
I have always been fascinated by tarot cards from a design perspective. These cards have been designed by so many different people with each set having their own aesthetic. One set that I am always blown away by is the set of tarot cards in the game Persona 5. In this game the tarot cards match the rest of the branding of the game with a striking red, white, and black color palette to where if you saw these cards outside the game you’d go “oh this fits in with Persona 5”. I wanted to do the same with my favorite game of all time Fire Emblem: Three Houses. This game is a fantasy war game with mythical elements such as dragons who come from space so I wanted the aesthetic of my own tarot card to look like a night stary sky. I took familiar elements such as the logos of the four main factions, the main character’s sword (Which was drawn by my friend Jenna), and the main crest of the game to create this interpretation of the fool arcana. I also made an animated version of this card. This animated version also uses a quote from the game as well as some slight audio design to help drive home the sense of otherworldly power this card wields. The motion version has some slight differences that help enhance the video format. It was also a nice exploration of after effects to help me study the program more.
