Landscape orientation?
Has anyone ever seen a tarot deck done in landscape rather than portrait orientation?
I haven't, but it seems like many of the ideas I have for cards would be better suited to a wider 'screen,' and I was wondering if I should follow my impulse or try to rework.
Okay, this deck will be just for my own use, so I'm sure the short answer is 'Suit yourself.' :-D I'm mainly asking if there are drawbacks to using that orientation that would make the deck less than useful?
Secondary question: I'm starting with the minor arcana (really, I'm not contrary about everything!) and I'm debating over the need to include explicit images of the card suit/number in the artwork. For example, if your artwork clearly conveys 'daydreams' and there's a label that says '7 of Cups.' is it necessary to include 7 literal cups in the design? Is having them overkill? Or, contrariwise, would leaving them out make the cards seem unfocused?
