Re: the whole Concept and stuff
eclectic doesn't mean that there is nothing to tie the pieces together. I just that the cards are going to so different from each other. that a unifying color for each suit will just make it a little easier. Say for instance blue for cups, that blues can be there the color of the card test, or a border or a background. the shades would be different. each suit basically has its own color at time, and their elements are the same.
the thing is, its a tarot deck subjected to elements and other symbols. but you don't have to if you don't want to. just wanted a little bit of coherence.

Re: the whole Concept and stuff
I think all-out random should be done from start...
Let's say, lottery the major arcana evenly between participants so that every person can at least do one (given sufficient cards)
The minor arcana should follow a similar pattern, at least for the court cards (one for each person, again, given sufficient cards)
The pips then should be given at random...
If someone ends up with a card they couldn't draw, they should be able to trade it with someone else, but only after all cards have been sorted...
If not for the entire suit, for the court cards at least, no?
Also, will we use the traditional Page-Knight-Queen-King set? Some decks swap the Page and Knight for a Prince and Princess or draw the page as a young woman to keep the genders in the court cards balanced...

Re: the whole Concept and stuff
i wouldn’t mind color guidelines but do envision an eclectic and varied deck, like a crazy quilt or patchwork of images.
i like seele-01’s idea of letting everyone have a chance at a major arcana card but if there’s more than 22 people signed up that will be difficult. but i for one don’t necessarily need to do a major card.
that said— it doesn’t seem like there’s enough interest with people signing up... is there usually a mad rush at the end when the deadline nears?
i noticed that old AT forum did a few (5?) sets of collaborative cards. has anyone had experience with those decks? are the finished decks available for viewing somewhere? i couldn’t find anything about them other than a sign up thread for deck 5, on the archived forum.
i’m asking because i’m new to tarot and this thread was the first time i heard of a collaborative deck.

Re: the whole Concept and stuff
Hello,
I am surprised by gold for cups ? It does not resonate with me "at first sight", neither with the element water, nor with the emotions / heart / inspiration associations....
I would personaly see the cups either blue or turquoise (water), or maybe pink (heart chakra) ?
But if someone explains the gold association to me I might start to see things differently !
Thanks !
