Omana: criação de um tarô composto por padrões abstratos inspirados na simbologia presente nos Arcanos Maiores por meio do design de superfícies

Abstract

The origins of the Tarot can be traced back to the 14th century, where it was used only as a recreational game. The Tarot was only used as an esoteric tool for medicinal, meditative and ethereal purposes in the mid-18th century (Farley, 2009). The way people related to him, however, continued to evolve as new technologies and ways of understanding the world emerged. Today, with the advent of the internet, the Tarot is used to perform online consultations and, with the popularization of this device for a more diverse audience, it is easy to find its cards being represented with the most diverse themes, cultures and symbolic backgrounds. In this context, this research explores the possibilities of representing these classic meanings, which the Major Arcana have preserved over time, through Surface Design using their technical and theoretical repertoire to create 22 letters with abstract running patterns, each referring to their respective arcana. This process was done through the creation methodology of Munari (2000), Arroz Verde, which was used from the identification of the problem and the theoretical foundation on Tarot, Surface Design and abstraction to the development of the planned product.
