Sometimes when humanity wants to create, there's some unseen force fighting against us. With the help of a simple deck of cards, we can whack our way through the weeds of a blank page. Each card has been assigned a different topic, so there are endless combinations that can help jump-start creating! 

Draw a Heart and you've got a theme waiting for you. Pick a Spade, and you've been assigned a specific art movement. Flip over a Diamond for an archetype. Deal out a Club, and you've just been given your color palette. 

Mixing and matching topics creates an instant recipe for creation. Each topic has potential, whether you’re creating alone or with a group. And while everyone is playing with the same set of cards, each person can whip up their own unique masterpiece.

There are a couple of ways a creator can utilize this deck. One way is to divide each suit or topic into four separate piles and draw a card from each? Feeling adventurous? Shuffle the whole deck of 52 cards and draw a handful to cook up an even more intricate set of rules.
