Whimsy-Caricature Tarot + Playing Cards

[DestinationQ1]

Happy 4th, my card lovers!

Planning on my next project. And can use your advice and feedback.
1) Which back design do you prefer: a) Gray scale or b) black & white?
2) What do you think of the name “Whimsy-Caricatre”? Any other suggestion?
3) I am new to Tarot, what in a deck design do you like specifically?

tnx,

P.S. Current project DebutV1 playing cards coming to an end on Kickstarter. Your chance to own a special deck before it’s too late.

Not a fan of the art style personally. It doesn't catch whimsical for me but results may vary.
A) Greyscale has more depth. Therefore I prefer it over the black and white.
In general the back design is very busy/random though. Like at first glance it seems to be clouds and birds but then you see spirals (galaxies?), dots that could be planets or stars/moons... But then branches/leaves?
B) Not a fan either... I'd prefer something more topic oriented. Whimsy-Caricatre reeads more like a description. Like when I name a novel like sad crime story or bitter sweet romance instead of giving it a proper name, if you get what I mean.

On the positove site I like what you did with the number cards to make them playable for classic card games but as well tarot indexed (is that a word in English?).

Thank you very much for the feed back, exactly what I needed to hear to move forward. You must collect a lot of pretty art work and cards with such great artistic insight . I understand the whimsy caricature is not for everyone, hopefully this post will rub off on ya . Updated version below.

Undecided on the text preference for the major arcanas..

Definitely C. The mixture of horizontal and vertical text is a typographic nightmare, haha.
I'd go for a banner like on the number cards (with the pips), for the name as well. Ties them together.
I'd like to point out that I'm not a fan of the graphic (I assume your brand logo?) on the corner of the trump card.
New back is a nice compromise between black and white but some more depth than before without going greyscale.

Thanks for the feedback. I stuck w option C. . Project just launched on Kickstarter. So very excited. I hope it gets funded.
