so now...

i decided that i am going to choose one theme-prosperity and create a set of cards with symbols of prosperity in different cultures.

and i feel top-trump cards where the info/facts are given with an image is boring and not as interesting so i decided to merge the idea of the memory game and the concept of the informative side of top trump to make my own memory game.

basically i will have the symbol on one card and the card that pairs with the symbol is the description and origin

and the feedback for this was:

-simplify the text

-maybe place half the symbol on the the partner card, so it is not hard to figure as memory is game of the eye as opposed to having to read

-the theme of prosperity does not support the game- which means i have to link the pair of cards together somehow

and from there i thought that the whole idea of pairs and game for two was a game for valentines. a card game with LOVE as the theme/proverb.

or if i use white: is it more lovey dovey?

once again though i will need to simplify the text and find a way to connect the pairs together and also create a relationship between each card.

and also the feedback for the love cards:

-it should be more crafty and more visually appealing to represent the nature and content, as opposed to being flat/boring.

but i feel this theme of LOVE works better because the form supports the content, in the sense that it is a game for PAIRS and the game is about MATCHING PAIRS-so it works for lovers to play as a fun game. and also to learn the symbol for love in different languages.
