Arcane Divination: A Tarot Reading Application - Figma Makeathon
The Challenge
The Contra x Figma Makeathon called for innovative applications that showcase design and functionality within a compressed timeline. I wanted to create something that aligned with my Red Mage brand identity while demonstrating advanced Figma capabilities and user experience design for self-reflection and personal growth tools.
The Solution
I developed "Arcane Divination," a fully interactive tarot reading web application that transforms traditional divination into a modern, digital experience. Built entirely in Figma, the application features:
Flexible Reading System: Users can perform personalized readings with 1-5 cards, accommodating different inquiry depths and time constraints
Intuitive User Journey: Streamlined interface that guides users from intention-setting through card selection to interpretation, maintaining the mystical atmosphere while ensuring accessibility
AI Integration Prototype: Mockup demonstration of how artificial intelligence could personalize readings based on user context, showing forward-thinking approach to traditional practices
Brand-Aligned Design: Visual identity that perfectly reflects the Red Mage Creative Technologies aesthetic - mystical, professional, and technologically sophisticated
Responsive Experience: Full-screen capable design that works seamlessly across devices, ensuring the contemplative experience isn't compromised by technical limitations
The Impact
The application successfully bridges ancient wisdom practices with modern UX design, creating an engaging tool for self-reflection and intention-setting. The project demonstrates how traditional concepts can be reimagined through thoughtful digital design, while the AI integration concept showcases innovation in personalization technology.
Beyond the makeathon, Arcane Divination serves as a portfolio piece that illustrates my ability to rapidly prototype complex, interactive experiences while maintaining strong brand consistency and user-centered design principles.
