-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Card 24 hosts a Modern Age / current-era / information-driven card template theme minimally designed using Photoshop layer styles and shape layers. This card template's visuals were designed for a universal application of the varying themes/genres card projects may take on. But don't let this genre-less card design fool you; to date this is one of Manifestation CCS' most complex card templates - consisting of 6 icon/text areas, 3 paragraph areas, and a total of 9 artwork areas. In particular it's the artwork areas, and how a designer can use them, that make this card's minimal design and asymmetrical layout shine. To top it off, Card 24 also has a convertible layout, allowing users to choose different artwork display styles, as well as hide or show entire rows of information to communicate information effectively through a multitude of visual cues. In essence, this horizontally aligned card template was designed to be what a card project designer makes of it; and we're sure that with its high functionality and extreme flexibility the end results will do nothing short of inspiring and amazing those that engage with it.

Card 23 hosts a Past Age / Fantasy / cold / arctic / frozen-world / shattered card design theme created using Photoshop layer styles and effects. This card template's visuals center around icy shards, blizzards, snow fall, magical/mystical spheres/orbs, and other elements that contribute to an organized, yet unorganized asymmetrical layout capable of relaying a large amount of information to card holders. Northern Shards contains a total of 10 icon/text areas, a title, header, and 2 paragraph areas that, when used in combination, can give audiences very detailed and specific information about the nature of a card. In addition to the aforementioned communication elements, Card 23 also includes a level gauge consisting of 6 vertically aligned orbs/spheres, added to enable designers to communicate even more information to their players. Designers with projects themed around cold and/or shattered or fragmented settings will assuredly inspire and amaze their audiences with this template.

Card 22 hosts a Tarot / sci-fi / old-world / megalithic / forbidden archaeology / "alien" / other-worldly / advanced technology / futuristic card design theme illustrated by hand digitally. This tarot card template's visuals were designed to immerse card holders in a setting distant from our own; one in which technology is built upon the foundations of rock-like metals holding electro-magnetic properties, plasma manipulation, sound waves/vibrations, alignment-based astronomical energies, consciousness, change, displacement, and matter. With 12 icon/text areas, a main title, and 2 header/sub-title areas, this tarot card template was structured in a manner that allows a great deal of information to be communicated in a clear and concise manner. The template features a uniquely shaped card artwork area designed to work extremely well with vertically crafted illustrations. The visual aesthetic of this card's background was designed to work extremely well with silhouetted artwork illustrations possessing transparency information. Card project designers focused on other-worldly Tarot card experiences for their play-testers and prototyping audiences will surely inspire and amaze with this card template.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Card 21 hosts a Past Age / fantasy / swordplay / cartoon / nature-based card template theme minimally designed using Photoshop layer styles and shape layers. The minimally designed setting of rising sun, trees, waterfall, pond, sword, shield, and scroll elements this card template contribute to a visual setting that any number of fantasy-based, simply-illustrated characters or items with transparency would fit very well in. Card 21's elements can allow designers to relay a small but effective amount of information in the forms of sword gems, a single icon or symbol, header, paragraph, and footer. The colors and style of this card template exude a fun and, perhaps, whimsical approach to fantasy card template design. This template will assuredly put a smile on the faces of all play-testers, reviewers, publishers, and audiences they are presented to.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Card 20 hosts a Tarot / astrological / constellation / outer space card design theme created using Photoshop layer styles and effects. This card template's visuals send audiences into deep space to observe stars, astrological constellations - and their signs, up close and personally. Although it may not look it, a lot of time was taken with Card 20 to ensure its quality. For instance, each of the background's vector-based stars was individually created and placed to create the deep-space visuals comprising the card's background. This template was designed to communicate certain kinds of astrological information with very little emphasis on words/text; as seen in its 12 editable astrological symbols and 2 title fields. This unique Tarot card's layout allows for unobstructed artwork viewing. The focus and quality of this tarot card template will undoubtedly contribute to a prototype that will astonish and amaze its intended audience.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Card 18 hosts a Tarot / abstract / surreal / flowing / warm / unknown card template theme minimally designed using Photoshop layer styles and shape layers. This Tarot template was designed as an example of the far end/extreme of what we consider "Minimal" card design; just before reaching what we consider "Styles & Effects" card design. This card template's visuals center around organically flowing, sea-life-like, abstract design elements; symmetrically organized to bring balance to an otherwise surreal, uncontrolled atmosphere. Organized in the fashion of a more traditional, poker-sized, card game template's layout, this Tarot card includes 5 icon areas as well as header, paragraph, and footer text. The dimensions of this card will enable a great deal of artwork to be seen, even with the inclusion of its text and icon areas. This template's background visuals were designed enhance the look and feel of any artwork included that holds transparency information. We can only imagine what card project themes this template will cater to; but we do know that any and all of them will evoke a sense of inspiration and amazement in their intended audiences.
