...& I wanted some opinions: For the deck listings, I am going to provide a brief description & review, & I was going to include 1 card for each deck for a first impression (my sister, who's in law school, found someplace that a single card sans official permission is permissable). I was wondering: Should I put the same card up from each deck, or should I vary them? I'm leaning towards using the same card for each. Just an aesthetic question!

Hi danubhe!!! I think I would use the same card from each deck, because it is interesting to compare the different styles of artwork and/or artists' interpretations of the same card....but that is just my personal preference.... Love the new avatar by the way!!! :D :) Luna

:laugh: the same card is best :laugh:

blackroseivy	03 Sep 2004
Well, I can only do so much with this, but thanks for confirming what I thought too, Luna!! :D

I think same card for each too :) Makes it easier to compare the cards that way I think. But I do think Fulgour's idea about using the card backs is a good one, tecnically its still using just one card, but you get two images :D But now of course the next question, which card will you choose? Congratulations on your website Danubhe!!! Looking forward to visiting :D

It seems everyone agree to use the same card from different decks, with all the people moving on the net is difficult to guess the profile of customers of your website and the card which can please them. I suggest you use a misterious or "scary" card... curiosity can help you catch people's attention. My best wishes for your website :) I just took a glimpse, I think it was a great idea the gift with readings, gives a value added feeling.

That is like, SOOOOO nice of you Flavio!!! :D :D :D I haven't been able to work on that since the '90's, I kid you not - I depend upon my *extremely* busy sister to do anything with it! But, *I* am doing the work for a whole new site - renovations galore! For any wondering, it's lady_danu.tripod.com... not that there's anything much there just now! That's why all the work! I *may* include the card backs - what I wanted to go with for *really* serving up the deck properly is, to take advantage of this *nifty* thing Tarot Garden has: you can link to each individual deck! Plus, for 2nd opinions, you can't beat a link to "our" Decks-pages with a stick! :D (getting all exited) I am going to be producing my very own, hand-blended line of fragrances: perfumes & incenses, with nothing but pure essential oils & natural ingredients. I'm a big purist that way; I'm Druidic & an inner (!) Goth who delights in the "real thing". I'm going to add a line of Gothic cosmetics that are going to be true to the period; I already have hang-tags designed, they are quite lovely! Well, back to work! ;)

I am going to be scanning the readings to give the readers the benefit of the beauty of the cards. I wanted to be really, really different, & stand out out there! :D

That's cool! How about putting up pictures?! My sister, who is doing this, is leaving that up to me - I can only hope I can figure it out!

acolyte	07 Sep 2004
Well as long as you have the pictures you need and a liitle photoshop/fireworks knowledge there is no limit to what you can do with your pics!
