THE CARD TALES
THE CARD TALES
OVERVIEW
The Card Tales Compendium is a narrative art book that follows the journey of different characters. Each illustrated chapters correspond to one major arcana card of the classic tarot deck. Designed to be immersive, the book directly addresses the reader, inviting them to become a silent observer within the story’s world. Alongside the book, I created a companion card deck, where each card represents key moments, characters, or motifs from the tale. Together, the compendium and deck form an interconnected experience that blends storytelling, illustration, and collectible design.
